New posts just reminded me of this and you mentioned you wanted to handle twice a week. I would advise against handling when you first bring your bp home.
Keep in mind ball pythons need an adjustment period which means no handling for a minimum of one week and until it has eaten for you at least once.
HOWEVER it is best and HIGHLY recommended for first time snake owners to wait until your bp has eaten 3 consecutive meals without refusal. This is to make sure your snake has fully acclimated to their new environment and to ensure your husbandry is on point. Remember you have to be patient with ball pythons.
There has been a more in depth discussion about the acclimation process in this thread here, if you'd like to take a look.
