Handeling Bloods

[Mike177]

I just got my new blood python in from N.E.R.D. about a week and 1/2 ago. When i got him i put him right into his awating new home (a clear storage contanor with holes, i have heard some bloods get freaked in 10 gallons due to the highth and it is easer to hold humidity) so i let him stay in there a week with no interuption and i fed him 2 days ago. he ate 1 weanling rat no problem. so today when i was cleaning out his cage i picked hum up with my bare hand and he is quite tame. he dosent bite but he has alot of energy (for such a fat *** snake lol) so i held him for about 10 min and put him up. and i was wondering what a good handeling schelue would be? i know not to hold him too much and all that but how many times a week? it is tempting to hold him alot but i know its not a good idea. any suggestions would be aprecated

Thanx,
Mike
