I have a three month old ball python. She's already incredibly tame, eating regularly, and has shed twice perfectly. For the first couple weeks I pretty much ignored her except for changing her water, spot-cleaning her cafe, and attempting to feed her-it took a little bit to switch from live to f/t. For the past three weeks I've been increasing her handling to maybe an hour a day, and she's become much more curious about other people I've introducing her to. For example, most of these people aren't too comfortable with snakes, so I'll sit on one side of the couch with my BP, they'll sit on the other end, and she'll crawl around me for awhile before making her way over to investigate the new person. Then she climbs up on them for awhile before just kind of settling down somewhere near them. Usually by trying to crawl up their shirt or into a pocket. Right now, she's hanging over one of my shoulders like my mom used to do when I used the computer when I was ten, haha.

She doesn't seem stressed at all, and when I put her back in her enclosure, she pops up and around like she wants to come back out for a little bit before . But I've read how stressed they can be (seeing as they certainly are very shy animals). Even though she seems to be perfectly fine, should I cut back on the handling? She's pretty much my go-to snake when people want to meet her, since she's much more docile than either of my adult snakes (my corn snake would happily take your hand off more often than not).
