i must argue this to a point...
i understand they may not get "enjoyment" out of being "held" but
exactly where does my 5 foot female JCP fit into this? i open up her cage, and first thing she does is clime up my arm, i never have to actually pick her up..

ponder it, not to be argumentative, but i do believe that snakes dont always get stressed out when being handled... my ball python for example, i have had him 3 years, if i set him down on the floor and sit down close to him, he comes over to me and climes up on my lap -- wouldnt you say this means he feels secure? seeing as he always finds a nice spot around my arm or leg to chill? i mean, im just trying to spark interesting debate/conversation..

just my $0.02

---also, im not saying that i handle them daily, i dont, only every couple days - tops once a week, sept the female JCP, i let her out just about every other night if not more...
