Yes, that's right...I'm sure he meant keep it to an absolute minimum so the snake doesn't get overly stressed, and has a chance to get used to it's environment.

I will say though, that you should wait at least two days before ANY handling takes place, so the snake doesn't have a chance of regurgitating. This is VERY dangerous for an especially young, delicate snake. It can easily "domino" into huge problems if this is allowed to happen and can quickly lead to it's death unless certain precise measures are taken to counter this if it happens.
