Handling Etiquette

[TheSuppishOne]

Just wanted to ask... My life has become crazy hectic since having a baby and I have not had as much time to handle Flint (my 3 year old Dumeril's Boa) as I previously had prior to my daughter. I typically tried to handle him once every week or so, just to make him comfortable with me and other humans, but now that I'm only doing so once a month if that, is it unhealthy for the poor guy?

Is it okay that I'm not handling him as frequently as I used to, or is it neglectful?

(As a side note, I used to also take him outside and let him slither around the grass, but I read so much about mites that I pretty much stopped that immediately. Combined with the fact that it's only 50 degrees outside right now, am I correct in my assumption that outside would be not good...?)
