Hello and Welcome Congrats on the new baby!
Everything seems normal to me. My baby follows me too. Its kinda funny...
Many people have told me that when owning a snake expect that you will be bittin eventually. She can bit at any time.
My advice is that she prob wont bite you. To get over the fear of the unknown, just reach in and do it. Easier said than done, I know. I am still teaching myself this trick.
It will be the strike that scares you if anything. But to be honest, at this age they tend to "ball" up and hide before doing anything. After holding her a few times you will start to read the signals she gives off mood wise. Just take your time.
Mine comes out on his own now. But to get over the fear of what to expect you just have to do it. Someone on here told me that I was "overthinking" things to much before I picked him up, they were right. Don't think on it, just reach your hand in and maybe touch her side for a moment and pick her up. It will be fine...
Hope this works... There are some awsome people on here!
