Getting larger boa more used to handling?

[Mother_Goddess]

Getting thermostat in a couple days so will be hopefully ready to add my new girl to it by the end of next week after it's temp is adjusted. I've went to visit and held her 4 times with my kids there so everybody's had their chance to fall in love with her. She does great with handling at the shop but still a little bit shy of being removed from her enclosure and being held. I know once I get her home and she is settled she'll get used to it. Should I keep it the same as with the babies, no handling until after second feed, which for her would be over a month? I am also planning on feeding in cage so have heard of some of the larger boa keepers using the hook to just let them know, hey I'm taking you out of the cage now. A bite from her would not tickle. Any tips on getting larger boas adjusted to new place and handling? She's also a face explorer like a lot of others I've met.
