Anywhere from once a week to nearly every day except on the week that they get fed. See mine are only fed every 3 weeks as they are fat lol. So yes, they even get handled when in blue and everything as they are both friendly as ever. Sakana actually seems to be relieved when I handle her when she's close to shedding as it seems to help her get started. Cereus doesn't need help but always comes out anyway lol. |

I handle Sheldon whenever he comes out of hiding, sometimes 3-4 days a week other times just once a week, depends on him really, I usually leave him for 48hrs after feeding though. he's 4 months old and quite lively at times. |

I try to handle my female Snow every evening, as she is still young (CB12). But then again it depends on her mood at the time which is normally willing to come out and be handled. I don't handle her for 48 hours after feeding. She is so friendly, she will allow you to handle her as soon as she wakes up. |

How old is your corn an what substrate are you using. Some times if its a young snake an its on a particle substrate you just won't see it. That's why people tend to keep younger snakes on kitchen roll so its visible. |

As newbies I try to get out little and often so they can get used to being handled - at least every other day (except after a feed obviously). The corns I've had for longer mainly 2x a week but for longer at a time. |

About once or twice a week, just depends on how busy my week is  |

It depends on how busy I am, some weeks it's only once a week for each of them, then sometimes it's about every other day, but I never have them out for too long though as they don't seem to like being out for too long. |

it varies as to how crazy a week am having,I get them out at least once a week but not for very long. I don't handle 48hrs after feeding and during the shedding process. Jinx is better for being handled frequently so I try and get him out most nights. |

About once a week, or every 2 weeks when feeding for some. |

Whenever I have the time. Sometimes every day, sometimes once a week |

We usually have them out twice a week. Mostly because I like to wait until they've pooped before handling, and that usually takes 5 days |

Two of mine are out more often, maybe 2-3 times a week. If they are parading about in their vivs I get them out. My third is really timid and shy so I only get her out if I need to, or want to take pictures.
The two can be out from 5-60 mins depending on how they are behaving lol!
The third is out as little as possible, usually 5 minutes max. |
