Hi all,

Tomorrow will be 1 week after buying Tiny, and I want to handle her just wondering how often and how long each time ? I know she is due a feed tomorrow and then itll be another 48 hours till I can handle after that, but just wanted to know if you can over handle her ?

Thanks in advance

Paul

i think if you aim for around 5mins a day for a while that should be ok

it is possible to over handle snakes, it drys the skin and can cause stress. generally about 5-10 minutes 4 times a week is fine for hatchlings. corns dont need much taming!
