Overhandling?

[ellorneo]

I am just wondering if you can over-handle your corn? I always wash up before and after handling so as not to contaminate anything, but I was wondering if there is a danger of handling the corn too much...

Couldn't find any other threads on this...

Thanks

If it is a hatchling or new to you, I would think yes you could over handle a snake and stress it out. I would also think it depends on the snake too. this would be the part of... knowing your snake. What time frame your talking about, a half hour or four hours. :shrugs:

He's very calm when I handle him, he's all over both of our hands (my wife and I). It's quite obvious that he is not stressed out being handled. He will curl up in both of our hands and sleep (awwwww) and weave in and out of our hands. I'm not worried about him (Lenny) being stressed, just worried if I can hold him for too long. I've handled him for about a 1/2 hour at a time, and am just wondering about handling him for one or two hours. Is that okay? I don't really see a problem with it, cause my hands are warm for him.

Just making sure I'm not making a mistake in handling him too often during the day.

I wouldn't recommend taking him out more than once a day. However, when you have him out, you can handle him as long as you want if he doesn't seemed stressed.

My normal will just hangout around my neck and let me handle him for hours.
