how much handling is too much for my new corn? its only about a month old, and i just want to know how much i should hold it
 
How long have you had him for? I'd say a good rule to go by is no more than 15 minutes at a time, maybe 5-10 since he's so young. I'd leave him alone quite a bit at first though, since he's only a month old.
 
Dep ends on the snake. Is he stressed when you have him out, or calm? 15-30 minutes should be fine. I'll keep a quiet adult out for an hour or two, if it is being good.
 
he seems really calm for a baby. i mean he climbs but not like hes trying to get away at all. also he can eat a pinky right?or should i cut it in half?
 
He can eat a whole pinky just fine - you'll be amazed. I know they don't look like they can.

Make sure you don't handle him for 48 hours after he eats, otherwise he could throw up.
 
okay... another thing... after only about 6 hours he didnt even have a noticable bump. is that normal or should i feed him two or what? also. how often do you handle most your corns? cuz when i hold mine its COMPLETLY calm. i mean he flicks his tounge alot and slowly moves around but i just thought if he was that calm that it wouldnt hurt to handle him pretty often (besides after he eats) is that right or should i leave him alone more till he gets bigger? most the reason i want to know is because i want him to be a very calm/docile adult and i dont want him strking at anyone so i figured itd be good to handle him alot.

thanks.
