I would just like to point out that you CAN overhandle, so I wouldn't necessarily say as often as you wish.

Overhandling can stress your snake out and be one contributing factor to fasts, in fact, if any of mine refuse, they get very limited handling (only for cage maintenance) until they are back on feed (usually the next week).

Keep in mind that handling is for our pleasure, not the snakes. They simply learn to adapt and tolerate it, but it's not something that they mark on their calendars and go - "oh good! Today my keeper is going to handle me today, I can hardly wait!!!"
