is this too much ?

Nah dw thats not too much, and just leave it whilst digesting and shedding etc.

My BCI comes out every few days as she's perfectly hand tame now, the corn will come out more often as she's veryyyy flighty.

i personnally think handling a snake, especially a young one is too much if you do it every day.... you can over handle snakes.

Especially the shedding part, did not spot that my boa was going into shed and got tagged when I reached in for her water bowl.

That is totally snake dependent though. I picked mine up mid shed yesterday as it was obvious she'd never manage to get it off herself. She has never hissed, took the defensive position or shown any other signs of aggression.

She loves me

Depends on the snake.

Some seem to really do well with handling and don't let anyone tell you that snakes do not like being handled. It's an individual thing.
