My personal opinion is to "work your way up" to handling him as much as you like. But....I would let him get through 2 feedings before you handled him very much at all, and until he gets really well settled in I would give him 2 full days of no handling after every feeding. I know that's hard to do with a great new snake, but patience will be rewarded and sometimes impatience meets with a sad end. Duffy

once a day should be good. But after he or she eats give the snake a day or two of rest before you handle the snake again.
