As often as they wish to be handled.

Maybe once or twice a week each.

Females almost never get touched. I've got two small males I need to work with cause one is cranky and the other shy. Other then that the rest like most of my snakes almost never get touched. The only snake I really make an effort to handle is my female BCI.
Cheers,

I handle mine about twice a day, but I wait a day or two after feeding.

Usually not unless I'm taking them out to clean the cage.......about 5-10 times a month.

No more than a couple of times a week. Sometimes less. This is the only species we make a point NOT to interact with regularly, simply because they are feeding machines, and we want to keep it that way. :)

I handling schedule is pretty sporadic. :-)
My BP does drive me insane though. He squirms all over the place, as opposed to my boa. I can set her on the sofa and she'll stay in the same place for hours. Species and age difference are the two main factors I suppose.
