Re: Boas shedding...
Yes, it's fine. You just want to be careful about not rubbing the skin before it is ready to come off.

Re: Boas shedding...
Just move it carefully (like in slow motion). One of mine is a little iffy when he goes blue and will hiss without ever having tried to strike. Just his way of telling me that he doesn't like touched when blue.

Re: Boas shedding...
Not so much doesn't like being touched... more like their vision isn't as good when in blue and are unsure as to what's going on, therefor much more defensive. Once you get the snake out and it realizes it's you, they usually calm down. Just don't want to make any sudden moves in front of their faces (at any time, really, lol).

Re: Boas shedding...
Yeah, if you are not pulling on the skin, you won't hurt them. I move mine to clean, pick him up to soak him, etc. Just be gentle.
