Try sanitizing your hands before handling her. Let it evaporate, and reach right in and pick her up. Any second of hesitation, and she'll sense it, thinking you fear her and making her think it's okay for her to strike at you to leave her alone. Keep handling her even if she strikes you. Chances are she'll only do it once if you show her you're not afraid. Don't over do it though. Too much handling will stress her out. Start once every other day for a few minutes and then eventually work to every day and she should get used to you and being handled in no time. Good luck

Agree with that post to the letter. If she just do not smell prey (your hand are clear) she has only reason why. She is not stupid. If she bites you and you just leave her alone she will do that again and again (just to let you leave her alone)... When she find out there is no reason to bite you (because you will still handle her and no one will hurt her) she stop biting and you will be the winner ;).

Don't be to worried.She will chill out after a while. Just reach in and pick her up,once in your hands they will begin to relax.
A BP bite is no worse than a kitty scratch.
If she is hungry she may key in on you or your hand in a feeding response. Young snake's can be a little nippy. They are just scared.
Give it some time.
