My babies get handled about every four to six days when I transfer them to their feeding containers and back. Otherwise I don't bother them much, just let them digest their food in peace. Even that minimal amount of handling helps them to learn when The Hand comes for them it is not a bad thing. The juveniles also get about the same amount of handling. I don't "play" with them, although some of the more confident ones I will let climb from hand to hand or coil up in my shirt for a nap. If they seem nervous I let them have that all important sense of security under their hide.
