I always feed my snakes in a seperate container (except my large boa) I do have to move them from the feeding container back to their own cage. This is done carefully with good support and minimal contact. I know this is not "handling" Just thought I'd add my $.02

I then leave them alone for at least a few days to a week. I do check my cages every day for messes and will move them to clean if I have to but only as little as necessary.
