Humid Hide, Handling BP & Introduction

[Homebody]

I know a lot of people on the board say their snake hides heavily before a shed but do some still stay in hunt mode?

My Children's python crawls under his repti-carpet and stays there for a week prior to his shed.

This is when I feel like such an novice. I’m checking her enclosure 20 times a day for signs of a shed (and Ofcourse temps n humidity) mainly because I want to gauge her feeding schedule.

And hearing myself say that I’m probably stressing her out more than anything always sticking my head in there

OK I read up on a lot of old care logs and the shedding process. Definitely feel confident that I need to be way more patient with her. I’m not gonna bother her except to spray her down and her humid hide since it dries out pretty quick being over the UTH.
I think a lot of times I mistake her defensiveness/confusion for hunger or worse poor husbandry. Pretty sure I’m more stressed out than my pet. Maybe I’m shedding as well?
