She's probably a little over 1 year old now, I'm not sure exactly how much he's feeding her now. I know he's feeding once to twice a week, and he's increased the size of the mice. (Feed more often was the first thing I suggested since biting and holding on is more of a feeding response than an agressive response.) I'm wondering if maybe the classroom activity is just overwhelming. I'm thinking that if he brings the snake (cage and all) home and puts it in a quiet spot, feeds frequently, and works on gradual reacclimation to handling, she may calm down. That's my theory anyway. Thanks for all the great advice!
And in response to a question I was asked by a herper I was talking to, my friend uses long tongs to feed, so the snake shouldn't be associating his hands with food.
