attitude?

For the past three day my bp has been acting very skittish toward me.she tries to get away. Hasn't really striked at me yet. Kinda wairy about it though. I know the could have bad days but three in a row. Should i be concerned? How can I break her from this?:confusd:

Is it possible it is coming up to a shed cycle?

A lot of mine prefer to be left alone during shedding.

The first thing that occurs to me is shedding. Is it possible that she is getting ready to shed? I know this can make them more skittish and also more likely to strike defensively as they feel more vulnerable. If that is not the case it would be helpful to know more about the enclosure (temps, layout, humidity, size, etc.). If any of those conditions are off it could easily result in a stressed, and therefore more skittish and defensive, snake. Has anything in her enclosure or care changed recently?

As previously said, if none of the husbandry has changed then she is probably going into shed. I wondered why my juvenile female was ignoring her food and a few days later, she was in blue. No need to worry :)

To me she doesn't look like she would be going into shed again she had only two meal since her last shed. Her temperature and humidity are fine. No more then they usually are. At least. She did eat three days ago. Humidity is @ 65 hot side is @ 89 and the cool side ranging between 75-80 F

How old is she? Young ones shed more often than adults. Mine didn't look like she was going into shed, no pink belly or any of the other signs, and like I said, a few days later she was in blue. It might be you just scared her and she is still a bit weary of everything. They are quite temperamental animals haha!

Around 6 months to one yr. Guessing. Last weight@ 133 grams and around 22 inches.
