Do corn snakes need alot of handling?

Question

how often should i take my corn snake out of the tank?

do they even need handling often?

Answer 1

I recommend no more than 20-25 minutes daily due to the risk of stress. You shouldn't handle him after feeding. You should also leave him alone during shedding.

Good luck!

Answer 2

No snakes "need" handling, and some don't respond well to at all, but corns have an extremely sweet disposition, and even with a lack of handling, they remain pretty tame.  They are almost tame innately, probably due to the fact that they've been captive bred for years and are a staple in the herpetoculture world.  They definitely seem to enjoy handling, and they enjoy exploring outside of their cage, and it's good exercise.  If you don't handle him for a week or two, don't worry about it, and be sure not to handle them two days after feeding, it can cause them to regurgitate.

Answer 3

I handle mine as often as possible. The more you handle them, the calmer they are.
