That is a great question. I have a boa that did the same thing. As a baby was great, but as she grew up would bite for no reason, at least I say no reason. Sounds like you better start working with her, I have been told a couple things. One is if she bites do not put her back in. Two, some say if you put a piece of your clothing in with the snake it will get use to that smell and not bite. Three maybe you are trying to handle her and she does not feel as safe in the bigger cage. Four, you may just have one that does not like to be messed with. Also check the humidity, heat and make sure she is not sick, I have heard that can cause them to act weird. She may also just be hungry.

If you can explain a little more it may help. Does she bite while taking her out or after holding her?

When I hold my boa now, if I do at all, I wear a sweatshirt and gloves, and she does not try to bite at all.

These are all things I have been told when I ran into this challenge.
