I think most if not all reptiles will "tolerate" some form of handling. It really all depends on the specific animal and not always the entire species. For example GTP's have a reputation for being pretty nasty, however I have seen certain animals that are puppy dog tame and handle with ease.
Most of our Ball Pythons will tolerate periods of handling however we only have one educational animal the experiences prolonged handling and he exhibits no signs of stress or feeding problems.
