I also have Albino Granites, they are beautiful especially when they are young, her orange will eventually fade to all yellow as she gets older.

Keep on doing what your doing is my advice. Taking her out often and having good experiences with you holding her should tame her down. Some are cage aggressive even into their adulthood. Babies do tend to be abit more hostile. I find that as the snake gets larger it feels more comfortable with everything. And sometimes you will find a snake that is just Pissy.

I have an extremely cage aggressive 15ft normal female that moves on you as soon as you open the enclosure. Once she is out of her cage she is a big baby though.

I use a sheet for her or a towel for my smaller burms, to cover their heads before I start to take them out. I do this to let them know its time to come out and not feeding time. It a bit of a "sissy" move but it works. And it helps me not get bit. A bite is always a bad experience for the snakes. And in my experience its been my fault everytime. I dont even get freaked out by it anymore, i'm just like "A I got blood on the carpet thats guna be fun to get out"

Good luck with your pissy burm, I think she will come around once she is about 6ft which shouldnt be that far off. I use lemon juice mixed with vodka in a spray bottle, to get them to release the bite. Always let the snake let go of you and back her teeth out try not to be pulling back because she will need to move her jaws forward to release her backwards angled teeth.

Never ever Pull the snakes head away/off of your hand/arm which will probably be the part she bites. It will pull her teeth off and leave them in your skin. And that will also make the wound alot worse.

You probably already know alot of these fun facts but i thought i would share anyway. Again good luck with her.
