Nice pic. Beautiful snakes. I'm particularly partial to Pits. No experience w/ Sonorans, in particular, but I keep a WC adult male San Diego Gopher an a WC sub adult Great Basin female (currently quarantining). My adult male is calm as can be and handling the sub adult female yesterday for the first time I found her to be a bit jumpy, but not aggressive.
Where did you get yours from? How was she aggressive? Just striking everytime she saw you or only when you picked her up? I heard that for some strange reason CB Gophers tend to be more nippy or aggressive than WC. I guess just give your aggressive female time to settle. When acclimating new snakes, either WC or CB I usually don't try to handle for the first 10 days.
