Hi all,

I went to a reptile show and picked up a new female ball python. I got her home put her in my rack system left her alone all afternoon. I decided that before I went to bed I would check on her and make sure he cage conditions were okay. She is towards the bottom of the rack so I bent down to peak in her tub and she struck repeatedly through the tub. This came as a huge shock to me because at the reptile show she was super friendly! I handled her at the show no problems even touched her head a couple times not even close to being head shy. Her tub conditions when I checked were 89 degrees and 30% humidity. Should I feed her? I was going to wait a week before I fed her to let her settle in. I'm just a little confused and shock and would appreciate some advice. Thanks so much.
