Hey guys! Want to start by saying this forum always has the best info and many awesome owners educating. I learned so much in the past for my previous snakes. I was able to raise 3 snakes into adulthood as a teen because of info here! I had to give them away though due to college and roommates who were too scared to live with me and my pets

Now I am trying again! I have my own space and the money to get the best care but I need your help!

Ok so a little about my BP. Just got her and the breeder has her birth month as October 2018. She is a lemonburst morph. It's been about 2 weeks since I got her. First week just chilling to get acclimated. She took her first meal a few days ago and that was a breeze! But today I wanted to check on her and she snapped! I wasn't aggressive but startled and dropped her.

Now I read on other posts and I saw it could be:

Hunger
Mistaken me for prey (I used my feeding tongs to get her sigh I know...)
Husbandry
New surroundings
Nippy juvenile phase

Among many others. I know the tongs could have been the issue but after I dropped her she kept snapping after

My stats on husbandry are:

88-92 hot side (heating lamp runs day hours and uth runs all day with a thermostat at 90) 70 on the cool side.

Humidity high 20s. This could probably be better but it's cold and dry in the north east so I'll try and do better.

Have two acurites as my thermomters / hydrometers

About 1/2 inch substrate of paper towels and shelf liner

Three hides for hot, middle, and cool side.

20 gal long but hot side is built like a fort with decorations and structures to give a "tight" feel for the juvenile. They grow out of 10s very quickly from what I remember!

So I see a few areas I could improve on above but I guess I just wanna know what I can do so could you guide me?

I read a t-shirt trick but I didn't follow as it was referenced as sort of an understood solution...I put in a used tshirt with my scent in the tank?

If she's hungry should I feed her again? Is that reward for snappy behavior though? I'm worried!

Do I just leave her alone for a few weeks now?

I can make a "hook" for future removal but what if she won't let me hold her to get me acclimated ever?

Really appreciate any feedback or suggestions. I really want to get this right I don't know...I feel more responsible as an adult but in less control haha and it makes me feel foolish. Any help you can offer would be awesome!
