So Recently I became a owner of an 8 month old female BP. She's been with me for almost a week now. I wouldn't have got her if it wasn't for my uncle who already has two of them and basically taught me what I know now of how to take care of her. His way of taking care of his will probably majorly differ from your advice so I'm kinda conflicted with what to go with, so thats why I'm asking for your help.

So far she's been really good. She hasn't hissed at all when I pick her up anymore. Mainly all she does is curl up under her bedding and rest, sometimes coming out to drink or just stare. Before I brought her home she was with my uncle while I got all the things I needed to care for her. I brought her home a few days ago and she's been doing fine. I already fed her once with no problem. She did look at the mouse for a few minutes but then struck down on it. After that I let her digest for 48 hours. Recently (as in just an hour before typing this) I took her out of her tank to handle her for an hour. She was perfectly fine, she loves to slither around me and try to explore the world, but I make sure she stays on me because I don't want her getting caught in my cushions. My uncle said that its good to handle her often so she gets used to it and myself. She's a bit head shy, which I'm working on. I gently run my fingers down the base of her neck but sometimes she just jerk back a bit. I want her to get used to being handled so she can became more relaxed. I cleaned her tank a bit before I put her back in. When I did she was moving around the walls for a bit before settling down. I guess maybe she wanted to see her clean tank?

Now, after seeking help from the r/Snake subreddit, I was basically told everything I was doing was wrong. I should not be handling her at all for a week and when she slithers around me she's actually trying to escape me. I was kinda shocked to say the least. She didn't seem stressed to me. I mean I know if they move around their tank a lot thats a sign, but I thought she was just checking things out. She rarely ever does that anyway. Heck, I ever touched her nose to mine while holding her and she didn't mind. I can tell she can be a little uneasy, but thats only because I haven't handled her enough yet. But now I'm being told I shouldn't be handling her at all, for at least a week. I don't want her to not get used to me after being held. If I just leave her in her tank for a week and then pick her up wouldnt she go back to being uneasy?

As you can tell I'm kind of conflicted with what I'm being told. My uncle says everything I'm doing is ok, she's just being curious and wants to explore, shes happy and it'll take time and regular handling to ease her. But then I have other people (on reddit) telling me I'm doing everything wrong and I should leave her alone for quite a long time.

Sorry for the long post, but I've been looking up all my questions here since I got her and I figured I could use some sound advice from some smart people.
