it surprised me because i was told to only handle him 10 minutes a day max for the first week, well, hes been with me for 5 days now (ate 7 days ago) and was handled by me for anwhere from 1 - 5 hours a day, and he is eating like a monster!
It's suprising to me that you found good advice and decided that you would disregard it. It very unusual for a ball python to tolerate that much handling, and just because you can doesn't mean you should. That advice is given, because as a general rule, it works.

I'm glad that your snake is eating well though.
