And when she bites, she holds on; she doesn't just strike and release. He tried increasing her feedings



not feeding her enough. Increase feedings by giving more mice until she doesn't want to eat. then feed more often.





Sounds like when she was in the classroom she was fed sparingly, stressed and weak. After giving her a bit of security (smaller encloser) she is becoming more aggressive with a feeding response. The way to solve this is feed the snake. Always listen to what the snake is telling you and forget feeding schedules or what "we" think is enough food.



If it is a female she may need the calories to support her reproduction sysytem (which she may already be doiing) and this also causes agreesive feeding tactics on her part. basically she is trying to beef up to reproduce beause she produced follicles and is ovulating. She would be going through the same process as if she is going to lay eggs. Now she just needs more food and you could even add a male king to fertilize her eggs.
