I don't handle my snakes very often- they usually are handled when cages are cleaned, which is once every 2-3 weeks (I spot clean poops as needed without removing snakes), and mine are much healthier and more relaxed than they were when I picked them up all the time.

I totally agree with this, my snakes seem a lot more relazed also since i stopped handling every couple of days. They proabaly each get handled once a month or so now and i think they are better for it
