I've been touching her head every time I handle her to get her used to it and she definitely not head shy because of it. Super tame. I couldn't ask for a calmer snake.
I handle her for about 10 minutes daily so at this point she's pretty used to it and just crawls all over my arms curiously tongue flicking and just exploring. She's calm enough that I'll let my toddler hold her for a short while.
