I hold Amani pretty much everyday. She eats every 6 days(large adult mouse) and I don't hold her until 2 days after that. I held her last week when she was getting ready to shed and she did well. This was her first shed with me and it was complete, and all in one piece. I just provided her with a humid hide which she used everyday for about a week-week and a half until she shed. She's about 4 months old and I got her a little over a month ago. Never hissed, never struck, never has tried to get away. I'm really happy with her and glad I got a CBB baby.
