well its not a holding issue. im knowledgeable in the field of snake holding but this is different. when i get the female out, she will do as mentioned of course and i secure her asap. however, what she does is she will throw her head and upper body off of me turn it upside down and just sort of "free fall" until the extension of her body she has flung down is even with the rest of her body. then she will just hang there upside down and after a moment she will attempt to right herself. all this is done in a matter of seconds until i can get her secured again. then she will do it all over again after a minute or two.
