I thought grouchy and gravid went together. I know my wife was like that . Sorry, couldn't stop myself. My female has been grouchy once in her life, and she wasn't gravid at the time.

I get bit the most come breeding season. Males and females attitude change when "love" is in the air. If she is cranky now watch out for her after she lays, almost ALL of my big girls will gaurd their eggs and sometimes removing them can become a task when they want to keep them.
Good luck with her.
