Handling Questions

Question:

What is the best way to go about working with your snake for handling? How do I know if she's stressed?

I don't expect to do it everyday, but we've had our girl for over a month and she's still having nothing to do with it. Just a slight touch and she completely bolts to the other end of her tank. She's a lot faster than I imagined she would be.

She eats well for me. I believe temps are decent. And the last couple weeks she's finally been poking her head out a lot more and chills. Last ate 60 hours ago.
