When you say "stress" behavior, does it have something to do with weight? Or is it just a handling response? Because I only handle her about 3-4 times a week, usually two days after her feed. In addition, this is only recently that she started doing this.
Thanks for the response.

Yes, I do usually limit her crawling to just my hands/chest and nowhere else. Maybe I'll try letting her roam instead of always touching her and redirecting her elsewhere...she has started doing this recently, so maybe she's just fed up at being handled in the same place?
My my, BPs are the simplest yet most complicated reptiles...
