I know how you feel. After having bp's for only a few months I bought a large adult female and the second time I ever tried to take her out she bit me. Looking back it was totally bc of my stupidity (she was hungry, I had just finished cleaning mouse cages and didn't bother to wash my hands...lol). I tried to pick her up a couple days later and it took me a good half hour to work up the nerve.
But anyways, if she just curling up she shouldn't be any problem, she's not trying to strike you. Even if you do get bit the first times the scarriest, after that you'll be like oh that was nothing...lol
btw I'm 6'5" 270
