You should feel no pain at all from a baby biting you. It'll be over before you even know it happened. Possibly leaving a couple pin pricks where the bite happened. I used to distract them with one hand moving a little bit and then pick them up from mid body or further back. The guy I have now was very calm when I got him, and since I got him he is held approx. 2-3 hours almost every day, and has showed signs of chilling even more. I can actually pet his head without him flinching now. The biggest thing is handling them as much as your free time allows, this SHOULD ensure your boa will be a hippie and not a gangster when he grows up.
