Handling

LordBaal Sep 21, 2008 12:39 AM

I have had Baal for 4 days, so far I have handled him, once or twice a day for about 5-10 minutes.
I sit there and wanna take him out more, but fear to much would be bad...
How much is too much, until what age?
Feel free to share your expieriences and your efforts to ensure your pythons remanin friendly and docile?
Thanks

I always handle younger balls less because they might not feed. However it depends on the individual snake. Also, they are more docile after putting on some weight.

If your snakes keep eating then it doesn't really matter how much you handle them. Maybe try leaving him/her alone for a few days before feeding if there's a problem with eating.
