Open Noodle's enclosure. If she chooses to come out, then handle her. If she doesn't, then don't. It's as simple as that. A snake that chooses to be handled isn't going to be stressed by it. You're concerned that she won't come out. Then, why do you need a door on your enclosure? You need a door because she will come out.

Thank you all for these thorough responses. I greatly appreciate it. Ruby only seems to come out at night, when I’m just falling asleep or when I just happen to wake up in the middle of the night. But maybe if I leave the lid open a bit when I’m supervising, in the evening for example, she will get curious and come out. I would be kind of be surprised if she did, but it’s worth a try.
