It just doesnt like to be touched, I can pick it up, and it will settle down once it is in my hand, and supported, but if i go and touch it with my other hand (while im holding it) it will jerk back.

This all started after we got her home and started holding her. . im going to keep the blame on stress induced by the big move from the store to the house (and the frequent holding during the first couple days)

I just home she gets over this snippyness soon, my girlfriend is starting to get scared of the snake :-/

I am going to feed it again on thursday (tomorrow) then let it sit for a day and try to hold it friday night or saturday and see how that goes.

As far as husbandry goes, the snake is in wood chips (dry stuff) and has a hid box, the temp is ~ 73/74 at night, and 78-90 durring the day. I only leave water in the cage every few days.

thanks
