ive done my reading up and have seen people saying handle your snake alot at it will be nice and tame . but then ive seen people saying dont over handle it so how much is too much ?? im going to have just the one snake so i was thinking i could have him out every day for a 30mins to a hour ( not for 48hrs after feeding though ).some of the time just creeping round the floor ( in a snake safe area) or is that too much ? |

Not stupid at all, its all about getting in the reptile mindset, not all pets are perfect for handling, think tropical fish  |

Think of it this way. The snake doesnt like the keeper, it will put up with it, but would much rather be on its own in a warm box. |

I dont have my royal out much more than 15mins a week for maintanence and a check over. Shes the most confident royal I have met so no, you dont have to handle it alot to keep it docile.
Edit - I wouldn't handle any snake for over 30 mins at a time unless there was a specific reason for it. |

Then get a Corn, seriously Royals really don't cope with handling as much as other snakes (as a general rule). I handle mine once a week, if that. |
