They don't mind movement too much and don't mind being held. If handled when they are young they will be more then used to it in a short period of time.

Couple things to know:
1.Be sure to read the FAQ about what you will need to get your snake setup if you havn't already and be sure to test your setup before you actually get the snake in there to work out any kinks.
2. Make sure to feed in a seperate container and never handle your snake after feed(wait about 1-2 days after feeding to begin handling again). Also make sure that you don't touch any prey items before reaching into your tank as the scent will still be on your hands and could cause the snake to strike thinging you are offering food.

**Be sure to read the setup stickies cause there is a lot of stuff that goes into making your BP's home one that is safe and acceptable for them to live healthy. Particulary read up on what you will need for the heating aspect of the setup.
feeding in a separate container is not necessary at all. but can be done no issues.
