So i got a snow corn snake a few weeks ago. When is the best time to start handleing her so she isnt scared to be handled.
I have read a few different things but they dont give me an exact answer.

Now is fine, you’ve let her settle in for a few weeks

Thank you i appreciate it i do my research before i get any animal but when it comes to the handling part some say when they are young is fine but others say when they become adults it more ideal

I own royals and always handle from day one myself. From babies.
A lot will say wait a couple weeks to settle first, if eating well and she’s settled in fine then nows ok to handle

As long as she’s eating well for you, you can handle her anytime now. Usually it’s a good idea to give them about a week to settle in when they first arrive, but you’re well past that, so you’re good to go. As always, do give 2 days of no handling after feeding.

Cute baby! I do just what Olivia and Riley do.
Your baby’s ready to get to know you in a new context. When you begin handling, don’t give up if she’s flighty or even nippy. Baby snakes are prey for a lot of things and are often defensive. (Don’t worry if she does bite. It doesn’t hurt. Someone once said it’s like being attacked by angry velcro.) At first, it’s a good idea to handle her on the floor or over a bed or large table in case she gets out of your hands.
Welcome to the hobby!
