Exactly what they said...but if your snake you want to handle...gradually get it used to people and handle it in short amount of times at first and then increase depending on what you want. Ex. I started my guy at 15 minutes a day like everywhere i read said to...then i started doing it more often and letting my roommates hold...and months later he just isnt bothered by anyone actually seems to like company (or warmth of humans). My guy has never missed a meal or regurgitated. Only time I dont mess with him much is during shed...from what i have experienced..in shed the less handled the easier the shed...i guess it is from hand oils that make it hard...

Hope this helps.
