Handling
My corn's still a baby yet, and curls up, watches my hand and strikes occasionally when I go to pick her up, which is fine because I already read babies tend to nip because they're spooked and need handling so they learn you won't eat 'em. Once she's out, she's fine, it's just getting her out... she really doesn't like the process of actually being picked up. XD
But my question is... how LONG do you handle your snakes? 10 minutes? An hour? I know they can be stressed into not eating so it's kind of a mystery on what a good balance is for me. So far I've only held her about 5 minutes total each time I let her slide around my hands to explore.
