    All your doing is stressing your snake out. Hes in a new place let him get used to the place before you go and start to hold him. If he hisses thats a sign of leave me alone, thats what i would do
    She just asked the initial question 20 min ago. She handled the bp earlier today. I'm sure that she will give it a break after asking about it so probably no need to sound heavy handed.
    As others have said you generally want to give a week or so for any new snake to settle in before handling. He ate for you so that's a good sign. Just remember not to handle for 24-48 hours after feeding.
