But she stop handling her and now iam taking care of the snake and everytime I try to touch her she try to bite me.

Answer
Hello Ettiene,

Boas tend to get aggressive as they age. This is not to say that the behavior is due to age but just stating a fact. A great majority of the time a snake will act this way because it is not being fed enough. Try a larger prey item or if your feeding schedule is more than a week try switching to every seven days. This should help.
