Don't be too overly concerned. Different BPs have different tolerances. Some you could carry around with you all day long and they'd still behave (read: eat) normally. Some get upset and will refuse a meal if you've done something silly like move them for a couple of seconds while cleaning up after them the day before. As long as he's eating well, there's really no reason to not enjoy interacting with your new arrival! Just keep in mind that the feeling's not exactly mutual.

Ours get handled often and show no signs of stress.

Awesome, thank you! He seems to enjoy it & eats really well I can usually tell when he is getting irritated with me so I put him back lol when handled, I only keep him out for maybe 10 minutes at a time

Be careful, this is a sure sign that you are becoming addicted to ball pythons.
