Try to get all your handling done now! Cause once he's in his home you'll wanna leave him alone for at least 3 meals without refusals (roughly 15days after first feed whenever this may be) keep everything to the minimal top up water. Mist. Clean any mess. Then let him be

Okay thank you. Yea I tried to tell my fiancé to leave her alone so she can adapt but he is being a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: and wants her out all the time... I'll tell him it'll make her mean to have her handled constantly

Just be honest and say handling too soon can cause the snake to be shy and skip meals. Meaning unhealthy. He should stop then :)

Perhaps remind him that they aren't like people (or dogs or cats) and they don't want affection or attention. They don't have the same ability to express complex emotion; they are not social creatures. Having them out too much - including before they are acclimated to their new home - causes stress and as mentioned above, an unhealthy animal. If anything, they just *want* to be left alone!
