Re: How often do you handle your snakes?

I am not really covered on the poll either wayne, can we extend it maybe?

Each of my snakes gets handled once or twice every 14 days, avoiding feeding/shedding times. At times one or other wil lbe handled slightly more, of for example they have recently been handled and then destroys their enclosure or does a massive poop that requires more than just spot cleaning.

When we only had two we handled them both a few times a week but over time and with experience we have come around to the idea that too much handling just increases stress levels for the snakes and having more to handle they all get more "rest time" in between.
