Hello All!

Welcome to the forum! You will definitely learn a lot from everyone on here.

My ball python seems like she is pretty relaxed as well. I have handled her for long periods of time before and she has never refused a single meal. My husband has even handled her a few hours before she was supposed to eat one day, and she still ate like a champ. (Although I would not recommend doing that as it can stress them out and deter them from feeding). I do not handle her for long periods of time anymore though; I think handling for shorter periods of time is better for them all around. Your little girl may be more relaxed than other balls, but in general ball pythons are not super crazy about being handled frequently. Just something to keep in mind.

I handle her about 1-2 hours every day.

You shouldn't be handling her right after feeding day. After ball pythons eat you should generally wait anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to handle them again. Even if you haven't had an issue yet, handling that soon after feeding can stress a ball python out and cause them to regurgitate their meal. Your ball python may never do this, but just to be safe, this is a good rule of thumb to follow.
