Ahahaha lol! Cheeky ;)

I handle Dimebag once or twice a day except after feeds or when in blue an grumpy! But then again he's really friendly to handle! I don't get him out for too Lin though as he's still only little but I still want to get him use to being held! All depends on him though. If he's happy when he's out then he can stay out a while. Mind you he always clings to his plants a little when I get him out but never wants to go back in lmao! :)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
