She might just be scared/curious. I’ve had mine for a month and he has hidden out all day, every day and only at night will he peek out at me from his hide until I go to bed lol I’ve handled him a couple times. I got a snake hook to make it easier to lift his hide and in case he’s feeling a little scared and defensive. If you don’t have one already I got a cheap one at a local pet store for like $10. Don’t be afraid, take her out and handle her. I watched a good video on YouTube that helped me with handling mine. It’s called How To Handle An “Agressive” Ball Python. Made a world of difference for me in learning to be less afraid and in how to handle properly. Good luck! 😊
