Don’t handle her at least a week. Let her acclimate in her new cage. It will just stress her out more

give her like 4-7days to rest without touching her. Thats with every snake you get from now on whether theyre aggressive or not. Now giving her rest does not gaurantee the snake to be freindly it just lets the snake get used to its new home and take away some of the stress. But if she is aggressive she’s only 2 months its expected for a snake that young to be a little afraid of you. My burm is also a little hisser but Ive had him for a month now and the hissing is starting to go away sometimes I dont even hear it. So just be patient.

Yes she will but its not definate. But dont handle her for a couple of hours just a 30-60 minutes a day. EXCEPT after she ate. give her 2-3days to digest. Also when snakes are in shed they can get aggressive.

Well Boas for the most part are rather docile among all other types of snakes however there are a few exceptions to the rule and some boas are aggressive. Babies tend to be aggressive but calm down as they get older. It just takes time to work with them. Working with them a few times a week while not making any fast movements around them is critical at this age with them.

it shouldnt but it really depens on how old it because if its older and it is moved out of its normal habitat
sometimes they get upset but if its littler it proboly needs tamed a little
