I'm laughing a bit right now as I've had this happen with my little girl too. I don't know how long you've had her, but mine was about 3 months old and I found she was a very hungry girl and REALLY wanting a bigger meal. Since I've upped the size of dinner, and since she's had plenty of time to settle in, she's doing better. We're slowly working with each other now and hopefully this issue will be behind us. Now all we have to worry about is that boyfriend of hers....

Good Luck

My Children's girl latched on to my arm a few weeks ago....darn thing wrapped my arm and was giving me such a pinch! Twisting and turning....gotta wonder what she was thinking. I had to dunk her in a sink of water to get her off.

Well lets just hope for your sake that your little girl grows out of it before she gets big. I picked up a pair of adult spotteds a few months ago and the male just seems to have it out for me. He has yet to nail me, but he has come close more than once. His aggressiveness makes him a great feeder(with the exception of when he is attempting to constrict one of my socks), but with his teeth it is definately going to smart if he ever manages to get a piece of me. Good luck with yours. Aggressive or not, they are always great snakes.
