I acquired an eastern kingsnake two months ago. It was about 3.5ft long when I got it. I would handle it at least 4-5 days a week,however, in the past week every time I went to pick it up it would go to bite my hand. I made sure I washed my hands before picking it up every time. I also fed her in a separate space so she wouldn't mistake my hand for food. The only thing different that I notice on her is a couple spots on her skin. It may be a fungus but I heard it wouldn't change her temperament. She is still eating fine. I feed her two mice a week. Is there a possibility she is malnourished?

I will take any suggestions one may have.
