If I got a big,hungry female & I'm introducing a male or reintroducing. I spray the female with a little lower than luke warm water. This makes the female draw back & coil up.
I then litterly put my male right down on top of her. Since I've been doing this,I've had no problems. The female does not see movement of the other side of the encloser & has never struck.
The same female is docile BUT during feeding,I've seen her come up bout 2ft out of her cage & swing her head back & forth with her mouth wide open! Se's struck @ the side of the cage by just turning on the lights in my snakeroom! She couldn't even see me either! The above is how I do it & it works for me. Just my thoughts only. Heres a pic of her
