I have a female Dumerils about 1.5yrs old ~3ft and latley I've been busy and she only gets handled a couple times a week for very sort periods of time. Of course I'm in and out of her enclosure changing water, fixing things, etc during the week. My question is; How often does everyone handle their Dums? She seems content to just stay in there but should she be handled more? This is our first Dum and not sure how much is not enough and how much is to much. Any input would be great!

I have both a male and female and I like yourself am busy so each one gets handled about 3 times a week for about one half to an hour each. And only after dark they are active then. Hope this helps good luck.
