I try and handle her multiple times a day for a few minutes at a time. I'm just looking for some tricks and tips.
    I have a ball python who acts about the same. Personally, I'd avoid handling several times a day, or it may stop feeding.
    If anything, handle lightly, for short periods once or twice a week and slowly increase the time as your BP grows bigger. Keep the cage cluttered and secured. Your snake may still be nippy, but it should grow out of it if your husbandry is correct and with a small amount of patient handling.
