Somebody help! Something's wrong with my snake! :(

All of a sudden over the past few days she's gotten really aggressive and hisses all the time at me, but I haven't handled her for 5 days! She's always in her hide and when I try to feed her she just hisses at me instead. My mom says if she doesn't eat or get better we might have to get rid of her! :please: Help.. :tears:

Can you describe the aggressive behavior? How old is your snake and how long have you had her? What's your husbandry like and have you changed anything recently? How about your routine? What do you feed?

Okay, I explained this to several other users, but here we go. I have her in a 40 Gallon breeder with everything save for a thermostat, but the temp is a nice 85-90 at daytime and never below a 72 at night. She's a normal baby girl, I got her the 23rd of November, nothing has been changed. She actually bit me the other day, she hisses constantly now, and she never would do either of these things for the first week.

She's literally acting like a python period and I can't fathom it. I've mostly left her alone, several days between holding, she has clean water, nice cozy hides, good humidity.

Could she be going into shed? They get pretty cranky, stay in their hide and often refuse food.

Anything's possible, she won't let me get near her stomach which is disturbing. Not like she's hiding it, just... I like keeping my blood inside my body. She's coupled her bark with her bite.

How are you measuring your temps?

Also, a baby in a 40 gallon tank could feel pretty insecure.

How are you measuring temps?

I feed her every 5-7 days.
