As far as handling amount goes, I'm not the expert, but here's a few bits of info I've picked up. For one, BPs usually outgrow their snappiness; babies are always more scared than adults because they haven't experienced the new environment. You're still a huge threatening mammal to them! (Poor things). Secondly, I'm not sure this is true so someone correct me if they know otherwise, but I heard that since babies don't have all the muscle built up yet, handling them a lot can overwork the muscles, making them really sore (like after working out) and can even damage the muscles, too. Just something to keep in mind and be careful of.
