It depends on the snake, so get a feel for the snake and don't over do it, but in my opinion all BPs should be at least slightly handled even if just when cleaning, enough to create an interaction with the handler.

EDIT: also, to mention one of my snakes doesn't like being handled, doesn't like movement under her chin, but put your finger under and hold it still and she will rest her chin on it and hold it there like it's a special pillow just for her. Another weird quirk I guess.

After 30 minutes or so, I had to wake him up because my hand fell asleep, too.
