Unfortunatlly I don't have as much time as I used to to hold my snakes. They get handled maybe 2x a week for 15 minutes or so at a time. Some snakes require more to calm down. I have had my MBK for a few months now and still get nipped because he is scared of me. Anyone wana trade? j/k But everyone is making handling sound like a chore. You can just pick them up, sit down, and watch T.V. It isn't like you have to keep a constant eye on them. Just be aware of where they are on you and what they are doing. This doesn't mean you can set it on the floor and expect to find them on a commercial break...
