Congrats! And welcome to the world of hognose keeping!!!
Now just try to resist the temptation of handling your new pet while focusing on getting her eating. That's one of the hardest parts, hahahaha... Oh, and deciding what snake you want next!!

They are sooooo tiny when young, my boy Cosmo was 11 grams when he came to me.
Handling briefly is no problem at all, I just got my new Borneo last weekend and he's been out for a minute here and there. Just try to resist daily handling or any sessions longer than a few minutes to change water, etc...
It's actually a little easier to resist temptation with hognose since they eat so often when young. Since you can't handle for at least 24 hours after they eat, that means there's a lot if days you can't handle them anyway.

Keep us posted!! I'm excited to see her grow and compare it to Cosmo's growth. My next hognose (prob a few years away) will definitely be a female
