question...

How often do you guys hold your snakes?
I hold mine daily, but I have talked to a friend that said a lot of his snakes he only pulls them out to clean their cage or change paper.

I hold them daily except for the couple days after feeding. I try to leave them alone when they are in shed too.

I take Zaina out more occasionally than I'd like... but she's okay with that. She's just always has the nicest demeanor that she doesn't need frequent handling to keep her "tame" so to speak.


But I definitely do not bother her while she's in shed or if she's still digesting.
