>>well, a great feeding response is awesome and all, but Id like to be able to take her out and hold her, or at least be able to walk PAST her without aggressive actions, and be able to open up her tub to spot clean, add water, etc, without fear of attack by a snake that could leave a decent mark in me, hence my concern.

Providing it all the options and choices and feeding when she is hungry will deter her from striking as you walk by....

Using a hook as another poster mentioned is probably the best way to let her know you are not feeding her and are just wanting to pick her up.......and maintain her enclosure....

I've never used a hook in my life....I sometimes take off my cap and cover the snake to calm them down though....LOL
