Hi all. Just wondering when we do start handling our new snake how often should you get them out. The guy I bought him from says he had him out morning and night, but did not say how long for. Letting him settle in for a few days first and then dont really know how long to have him out and for how long each time. Thanks Terry.
I get my 3month old out for around 10-15mins a day. Mainly because i read somewhere they lose their body heat quicker. Adults i guess you can handle for a bit longer.
EDIT: Except for the 48hrs after feeding of course
It would be best to give your little guy a full week to settle in, it will help him learn all the new smells/sights etc...other than that, i would agree with Simmy

Thanks guys.Had him out twice just because he came out looking when I changed his water but this was only for a minute or two at most. Its so hard to not get him out. But need to do whats best for him. But roll on the weekend.
give the new addition about a week to settle in. Some people habdle their snakes daily, some not as often and some hardly at all. I handle my snakes maybe twice a week, except digestion times. (This is not including cleaning/feeding)
i handle mine every day for 10 - 15 minutes. my snake likes the cold end of his rub so when i pick him up he's told but soon warms up from my body heat
