depends on the boa but for a quick reference...usually not right before/after a meal....not too long to where a difference in temp from outside the cage would play a role...and not too much to where the animal is stressed from being removed from comfortable environment...as a time frame..a few hours a day(max)..or once or twice a week(min for good temperment and not just expecting food) is a good base to build good temperment and not cause too much stress. good luck with the new little one.
