"Can" is the key word. The only way its going to cause stress is if they are not use to handling. I personally choose to handle because I would rather have a calm snake than something that wants to strike at me any chance it gets.

Thanks for your opinion. Now do you have anything to back it up?

Do you? Out of personal experiance and observation on my part the only time I see a snake get stressed is when they are young or if you have one that has not been handled at all. This leads to bites, strikes, fleeing and musking. That is how you know a snake is stressed and does not want to be handled. This is basic stuff. Even if you dont handle you still have to transfer the snake when you clean a enclosure and thats even going to make them more stressed because they are not use to contact.

I'm sorry, but NO snake wants to be handled. A snake does not brenifit from handaling.

I agree that no snake wants to be handled but I disagree that it does not benifit them. For example handling is one way to check for health problems your snake could have that is not visable. Im not here to challenge anyone. I simply posted this thread in search for a trusted breeder. Fortunately for me I just got a true BCC last night from a trusted breeder.
