handling bad for health?

[resisted]

Is there any limit on the length of time that a BP can be handled? Hayden absolutely loves to crawl all over me for hours on end, and I thought perhaps there could be some health risks since he's not really in a controlled environment. The reason I ask is, I was told if I handled my kitty too much he'd get worms. [Pretty sure this isn't true..] But, is there anything similar to that in pythons?

i dont think they could get worms from u unless u had worm eggs on your hands which i doubt u do. and handling any snake for too long can stress it out and may cause it to go off feed which can inturn cause health problems but this is unlikely because snakes can go long periods without eating and they usually do start eating again. usually.
