Don't worry. She can live upwards of 30 years, so you guys have plenty of time to get to know each other. Just be confident and everything will work out. Also, I recommend you handle your Ball Python before you shower or put on body chemicals with strong odors. My Ball Python is very outgoing and loves to crawl all around me but if I've recently taken a shower or put on deodorant, he tenses up and stays in a ball.
Also, I recommend handling during late afternoon/early evening when Ball Pythons are most active. Be in a moderate to low lit room and make sure other animals are not present. Sit down while holding her too. When picking her up, either do so from the sides away from her head and scoop her from underneath or use snake hooks.
