as of up untill now the only even partial contact is when I'm changing her water or when i cleaned the one severely watery poo she made. I know the 2 week handleing deal I have another ball python that I have been playing with. The only stressful thing has been me putting her into a small container with a fuzzy over night. I read to do this with stubborn hatchlings and picky eaters. Yes I monitor the temps and humidity in the small container.
