Hi Stu!
Yes, in general my handling sessions are short. I spend maybe 30 minutes at the end of the day playing with them. Sometimes I'll let one or two crawl around on my large desk when I am working here in the office. Sometimes I have a particular snake out for an extended period, with no ill effects, but again they are so used to being handled that I don't think they mind.
I would like to do a little experiment by bringing in two shy non-feeding imported adults, and handling one often, and the other not at all, and see who feeds faster and acclimates better. It would not be totally scientific of course because there are other factors with feeding besides stress...it would be neat to try though.
