[beardedlady]

sorry if this has been done b4 guys an girls but just wondered how often an for how long ya have ya snakes out for

[wildlifewarrior]

it depends, normally i get the python out evert morning for a handling..seems to be fine with it, normally put him away when he gets tired and fed up

[tony_boa]

i get mine out as much as i can really apart from shed time and a couple of days after feeding. although i only get them out if they're roaming around in there viv if there just in there hides i tend to leave them alone

All depends. My trouser snake is rarely handled by myself these days. The others come out as and when.

No pattern.

I get my snakes out about every 2-3 days, for about 10-20 mins at a time, for each snake.

thanks for replying guys, i do much the same with my BCI if he is up an about he comes out but if he curled up sleeping i tend to leave him as he is

I usually handle the adults a couple of times a week. The younger one is sometimes only once as he is still on feeding every 5 days. I don't handle them after feeding. The length of time they are handled depends on them. My big male seems happy to just sit with you, but the girls seems to get fed up a bit quicker.

I get mine out pretty much every day (except a couple of days after feeding day) for half an hour - an hour. Obviously not possible if you have a big collection though.

My largest retic free roams. It sleeps in my bed at night and just refuses to go in the viv. It bit me resulting in 19 stitches around my left eye just for saying it should go in its viv. It has a litter tray in the lounge which it uses to feed from as it will only eat its own excrement. As it approaches its 8th birthday titch is 22feet wide and 9 long.

lol i like to handle the boas and burm daily except after feeding then i leave them a few days. My royals get handled maybe 2-3 times a week. They're all out for a minimum of 10 mins but it's usually 20-30 minutes as my big boa and the bum love being out and handled!
