Hey people!

Have had my baby BP for two weeks now. Seams to be getting comfortable in it's new home. Has eaten twice now, and explores terrarium day and night. The first night I had it I was positioning a temp probe and it struck my hand (my fault) it was stressed out and I was working in front of it. I am keeping handling to a minimum for now intil it gets very comfortable. It is still fairly shy and is "jumpy" at times. When handled it stays balled up in my hand but sometimes will start to cruise around on my arm or lap. I am not afraid of being bitten I just dont want my snake to be stressed out. For this reason I have been avoiding touching it near it's head. When I lift the hide and first pick it up it's neck is in the classic "S" shape, but I read somewhere that it does not necessarily mean it is going to strike. Is there any for sure "tell tale sign" that the snake is in an aggressive/defensive mode and is very likely to strike?
