Hey Rhea, I pretty much agree with how Sid does things with his snakes. I handle mine at least once a week, just to check body condition and such. Also, those snakes that are really skittish, should eventually learn to calm down some after having been handled for a time. A lot of my garters that started out being really skittish have now tamed down pretty well with just being handled once a week or so.
