i just got a baby boa and am going the whole "tap a hook on the top of her head" route. i just put something in front of her face, right now its a little plastic blue shovel, while picking her up as she is a little hissy when i put my hand in and like your BRB, is fine as soon as she's out of her tub. it seems a lot of ppl have their boas do this and they tend to grow out of it but yes you'll probably get tagged a lot, and even though i havent been yet i just know the day is coming.
