Gorgeous snake! Remember, she is just a baby and you are huge and intimidating. She will always be a bit fearful whenever you go to get her out of the cage. Just move slowly and pick her up gently from behind and let her sit in your hand. After a while she'll calm down and start looking around. Just remember that anything coming towards her from above or in front of her head will scare her. You'll notice though that she'll go into exploratory mode faster and faster each time you handle her as she becomes more comfortable with you. I handle my two babies every 2-3 days for 10-20 minutes a piece (depending on how antsy they get). I never put them back when they're still scared and balled up or coiled. Always handle them until they relax and are calm and then let them go back to their home. I always like to just hold them near their hide and let them find it and crawl in.
Enjoy your BP!
