If she's doing that while in her cage her attitude could improve once out of the cage. A lot of snake's chill out outside their cage, it's their territory.

If she's just hissing it doesn't mean she'll strike, maybe, maybe not. At any rate, now is definitely the time to calm her down.

I say pin her head down, remove from cage, handle her. She's not gonna like having her head held so at some point you're gonna have to let it go & take that chance. Any movements you make need to be slow & gentle, staying away from in front of her face. It might take some time but you'll eventually gain her trust.

I'm in a bit of hurry so I'll elaborate more later on.

Tell us more about whether or not you get her out of cage, handling, etc...

Later!
