Stressed snake behavior?

Hellooooo!

So this question is out of curiosity and whatnot. I've got my lovely little RB all happy in a tub with 80% humidity and a 70-80 degree heat gradient.

She seems very calm and chill when being handled, and is not snappy at all. I just want to make sure I am not misinterpreting her behavior, since I plan on handling her often. I'm great at reading cat and bird body language, but I'm new to snakes. Sorry if this has been asked before!

What are some behaviors to look for when a rainbow boa is starting to get stressed out while handling? When do I know I should reaaally put her back into her enclosure?
