I have a recently acquired adult female Naja atra that is rubbing her nose and seems to be very nervous in her 36” Neodesha cage. I use aspen bedding and an np hidebox where she spends the majority of her time…except for durations where she is exceedingly restless. I feed her 1 f/t med rat about every 4 to 5 days which settles her down for a while.



However, she refused the last meal I offered her and continues to be very restless in her cage. Im keeping the snake room at around 75 F and have removed the heat tape from under her cage in fear that she is too warm, but still, she is restless and rubbing her nose.



Any suggestions on what it will take to calm her down and keep her from rubbing her nose would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

Adam Stockton
