i think 72F is fine...our body temperature will provide a warm place and keep it warm while handling. However I wouldn't keep the blood out of its cage for long periods of time...handling can still be stressful so keep handling sessions short. It is also possible for a blood to get too warm if handled a long time. Our body temperatures are higher than most snakes like to be act, other than for basking purposes. If the snake feels warm to you after handling, its probably getting too warm and would be best to put it into its cage...Our body temperatures are around 96F and many people have warm hands too.
