Re: how much handling is to much handling

I dont see a problem with it as long as you dont handle during shed and right after shed. A little bit eat day should be fine.

Re: how much handling is to much handling

Aslo don't handle for a few days after the snake eats. They need time to digest.
Also in the winter I try not to keep my snakes outside their heated terrariums for too long. 10-15 minutes maximum in winter time.
