I have not owned a BP in a while so it feels almost new to me again. My new "baby" was born 2003 and she is 5ft and at least 6lbs. I got her in the mail and I had her tank set up when she got her so I put her in and was going to let her be alone for a few days.

Well she knocked over the equiptment I had in there for reading temps and humidity. she was very active when I first put her in and she took out all her greenery too! haha. Anyway, I know it is important to keep things regulated so what should I do to fix things as stress free as possible? she does not seem very shy and may even try roaming out once I open the tank. (and I know you snake owners that are pros will laugh at me but I am nervous to stick my hand in the tank right now because I dont really know the signs to look for in the even that she is about to strike and I am scared of being bitten! most likely because it has never happened before and it is the fear of what I dont know. so any advice on that would be helpful too)
Thanks!
