I was up last night with yet another evening with insomnia, so i took Nagaina out of her bin. I have the water bowl on the back side center of the bin and she was all stretched out along the back wall squeezed between the tank wall and water bowl.

I, as always, when I go to take her out, I removed the hide she is under. I gently touch the back end of her body so as not to startle her (she's still getting used to people but she is doing great!) and then I pick her up back end first.

well, for whatever reason it sounded like she hissed at me. I thought it was one of my cats at first, but none to be seen. can BP's hiss, and if yes, why?

it was funny...I jumped about 3 feet and got my adrenaline pumping lol

thanks in advance
