oh man, why can't this happen to me? I love attitude! I don't have any advice for your. Except to say this. These snakes can indeed have a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde complex!
The first Northern Pine I ever handled was gentle as could be for the first little bit. Then she cut loose with a LOUD hiss I had never heard before. About peed my pants! And I RUSHED her back to her cage as she began to twist and spazz. Yeah, scary thing! Odd thing is, that snake would only act like that before noon... Seriously! That animal was part of a live collection in college. And she couldn't be used in morning labs but she was tame as a kitten after noon. We documented this time and time again and have no answer as to why she was that way!
Best of luck. Try to handle your animal under different conditions and times and see if there is any change.
