I believe that BPs or snakes in general tolerate being handled. They don't exactly like it but they tolerate it. That is my theory. When they are handled regularly they often become more tame and docile. But if yours shows no sign of aggression then there is nothing to worry about when it comes to handling. I know people that hold there snakes every day, I personally don't maybe about every 3 days, so a couple mins for a couple days is perfectly fine.
