1. If she is in shed leave her alone for a while - once she is done shedding you can check for mites and treat as needed -- I would suggest you pick up some Black Night instead of the stuff from the pet store.
2. You don't need to soak a ball unless it's had a bad shed - just make sure you have fresh water and proper humidity in the tank and let nature take it's course. You cn provide a humid hide as well.
3. Balls hiss and they ball up - especially babies -- yeah they will even nip at you. It's what they do -- if you show it fear it will pick up on that -- chill and the snake will chill - bites don't hurt.
4. If you want to see a snake moving around it's tank a lot -- you picked the wrong species -- a happy ball is one that is hiding. They will tend to be more active at dusk and dawn -- but for the most part balled up in a tight hide is what they do.
