So my hobby Hondo seems to have settled in nicely. He doesn't bite me anymore when I pick him up. Now if I could get him to stop musking.

Anyway, most places I've read have said not to handle your snake for more than 20 min at a time. I've been keeping the small guy to 10-12 min sessions, figuring over time I'll reach up to 20 minutes.

The question is, how much recovery time is needed between holding? I've been doing it once a day (minus 48hrs after a feed).

Thanks.
