I bought my Royal Python earlier today and I was told to keep handling to a minimum as it's just a baby, (7 months), and I was wondering (forgive me if it sounds silly) how much is minimum? 5 or 10 minutes a day?

for the first 7days dont handle and then after that dont handle until it has been 48hrs after its first feed with you. then maybe handle 5-10 mins a couple of days a week.

first off read this........... http://www.theroyalpython.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=1716

royals generally get stressed if handled a lot and this is frequently shown as going off their food, they're not a species that tolerates a lot of handling although some individuals will cope better than others
