Boas are NOT like ball pythons. We held our baby boa from day 1 with no adverse reactions. Boas actually seem to enjoy handling and they do not stress the same way a BP would. So long as you are calm and gentle and put her away if she does seem anxious, handle away! Start with maybe 10-15min the first night, but she should be just fine after that. (And of course wait your typical 48hrs after feeding). But seriously, they like it!
