^way too few. is urs tame at all?
 
I handle my snakes whenever i can. Normaly once every few days. I mean I can't when they are in shed or 3-4 days after eating. I take them outside on hot summer days to get some fresh air. They seem to enjoy it.
 
I handle my boa daily when I am home only because she is young and I want her use to being handled(she strikes when startled and I want to break her of this seams how I have 7 nieces and most are to young to know better when around my animals but nothing I you can do when people don't listen), my ball 3 times a week along with the corn. None of my snakes regergitat their meals only reason i handle them after they eat I am not always there and I tend to feed before I leave for a while so I know they did get fed and when family is around other then my dad, well mainly my sister she don't understand the "leave my animals alone when I am not around" rule and does as she wishes. Issues with older siblings.
 
my burm comes out nightly, my boas a few times a week, royals and corns - as and when really, im selling them due to not spending time with them and they dont get as big as the others and they r my main concern.

spose it depends on what snake really. i let all mine come out by themselves and they usually come to me.
 
my columbian is completely tame. she would never bite anyone unless they smelled like rat. but i can hand her to anyone and she is totally chill. she loves cruising around to people. i just think she likes the attention
 
I handle my Rainbow Boa maybe once every couple of weeks, but I've had her a couple of years and to start with I handled her a lot more, so shes very tame.

I handle my bullsnake every other day. He's still just a couple of months old, so I'll keep handling him as regularly as possible to make sure he's tame for the future.

I have a ball python, and I handle him usually once or twice every week or two. And I never handle him the day after he eats, to let him digest in peace.
