My BP hates me!

The more you feed her & don't handle her the worse she will get. As said don't make any sudden movements. She I scared as well. I would strongly suggest using a hook to move her & aid in getting her out. The bites don't heft anyway mate.
Good luck.

she will calm down on her own if you just give her some time. i wouldnt handle her if she clearly finds it a stressful event because doing so may just work against what your trying to do.

I do agree with that but if she is only handled when she is fed then will never learn to trust.
I leave lizards alone and let them learn to trust me in there vivs because I am in them almost daily.

I personally disagree with this. I have bought a number of ball pythons and some were very gentle from the start and some just had to settle in and grow up a bit more. I don't have any that "snap" outright. I have only one snake who isn't a baby that still is very skittish, she's never tried to bite me.

I would go with what Julian said. Just keep feeding her and growing and she'll start to calm down once she's no longer very small.
