There shouldn't be any problem with the handling, just don't do it "constantly" and leaving it for 2-3 days after eating is always a good idea, both for the snake and your carpet.

Sexing might be hard with those pics.

There is nothing wrong with handling your corn snake on a regular basis. It helps keep them used to it and makes them easier to deal with if you ever need to pick them up. You shouldn't handle your snake the same day you feed it, you should feed, then give it enough time to digest before handling. Usually one or two days is fine. Start slow, ten minutes, two times a week. You can work up from there.
Pictures of your corns vent won't help sex it, you need to find someone who either knows how to pop or probe a corn.

Except for the 2 days after I've fed them i hold mine all the time, they tend to curl around my wrist and just lay there while I'm on the puter.They love the attention, but like any other animal u gotta test and see how much they like to be held..
