So I have saved a normal from one of my moms work friends. She came to me with the whole set up a long 20 gallon teraneuium, Lights, water bowl this is my first ball. (I previously had a rattlesnake that I found injured on the road feed him back to health and set him free) this will play into the story shortly. So when she brought her over the tank . It was just in horrible condition atleast 3 sheds and 5+ poops. so I took her out and but her in a tub with some warm water. and cleaned her tank all up and put a uth on it. now she is what seems happy as can be... but there's 2 things im nervous about 1. She looks really ashey on top of her head and dont know if she is about to shed or if this is from how poorly she was cared for previously. (If I can ever find out how to post pictures I will)
2. She is very head shy and if I make any movement she goes into what looks like she is about to strike. Im not scared of getting bit I'm scared that if I do I'll jump or something and hurt her wich is the last thing I would ever want to do. But I do get nervous holding her. I think this is where the rattlesnake comes into play. I have always loved reptiles. but the rattlesnake being my first I was always careful and very scared of him and I think it might have carried over with her for some reason I would like two know if you were nervous when you got into snakes. what helped you relax with them? And any thoughts about the top of her head and what I should do to help her?

Any information will be very appreciated!
Thanks for reading sorry it is so long lol!
