New addition
This is Josslyn our new baby. She is a Coral Albino. We got her a week ago. She will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Is it ok to start holding her now? She ate for us Tuesday evening. We are new to Boas so I will probably have more questions soon.
Not the best pictures. I took a few when we first brought her home. Thanks for looking.

Wow! Super baby! Congrats!
We just got our first baby boa 2 weeks ago. We were told by her breeder (Tim at Special K Reptiles) that boas are NOT ball pythons and that many actually enjoy being held. He told us we could hold her from day 1 and we did. We did limit it to just a few minutes at a time, but Tim was right, Peaches seemed to enjoy the attention and did not seem in the least bit stressed by the gentle handling - and she ate her first meal for us 3 days after she came home. Interestingly, this meal was her FIRST f/t meal - she'd only been offered live before. So the upshot is that the handling did not affect her settling in or eating. Have fun with her!

Re: New addition
Handle away! Beware, though... Boas do not like going back into their cages/tubs, etc. It's a boa thing

Lol, that's very true. Mine tries to climb back up my arm as I'm putting her in and then tries to get out before I can get the lid back on.
