20 to 30 minutes seems an awfully long time to be handling a snake (to me), I wouldn't handle mine for any more than 5 at a time. If you want to handle it more, perhaps shorter stints and more frequent would be thanswer. Remember though that you don't know how the snake really feels, you could be imposing yourself on it to a point of stress. Think about the animal and why it is behaving this way. Prevention is always better than cure. Just my opinion though.
