Re: handling your snakes

I play with/hold mine (Stripe, Red and Midge) every day for at least 50min
Five(baby) is the only one that I let get a break from me every 3rd day

Re: handling your snakes

I sadly don't have time to take mine out that much, but I do try to handle them most days. My two adults garters slither onto my hand voluntarily now when I open the viv and nosily watch what's going on around them. Sometimes they are content just weaving through my fingers (which feels lovely) other times they are less settled and want to explore the top of cupboards etc and it takes a lot of patience and vigilance not to loose them.

Re: handling your snakes

I only handle my snakes when I clean the cages. As you can imagine they are not used to being handled, they are pretty active at that time. But I don't really care about that.
