Proceed very gradually- some snakes tolerate handling better than others. And some humans have more empathy (ie. are better handlers) than others too. I don't know you OR the snake you're getting, so I can't begin to answer that. Just remember that "handling" & "being a pet" isn't in a snake's DNA. Dogs & cats are "touchy-feely" pets- they're also domestic animals, that makes a huge difference. Many snakes tend to appreciate "handling" when kept close to your body so they feel like they're hiding (& are also warm enough). And BPs aren't snakes that move around all that much in nature anyway.
