Yes, I handle him everyday!!!

Every evening, when he's on the move, he comes out, and has a slither round us!

Do some people only handle on feed days then?

no. after a feed they shouldnt be handled at all for 2-3 days. this gives them time and peace to digest. if you handle when they have been fed there is every chance of a regurge. not good.

no its best to leave them a day or 2 after being fed to let them digest their meal , it lowers the risk of your snake regurging, i dunno how often your ment to feed a baby corn (never had a baby) but every 7 days should be plenty

edit ...beaten to it

its really not good for them to be handled when they have just been fed. regurging brings up strong stomache acid which can burn them. i would say you have been very very lucky up to now.

i normally just put them in on a bit of kitchen roll and leave mine to it. two will be fine. give him a few feeds on two then give him a small fuzzy, and take it from there. if he can manage two pinkies he will be fine with a fuzzy. but when you move him onto more food, please dont handle him for a few days afterwards.
