hissing

i had to move my BP out the way to put a new rock hide in
then she started hissing at me when i tired to pick her up and when i did she stoped

what does hisssing mean
their scared or something

It means "get the **** away from me or I'll bite you" :P

what he said...

it's like a rattle snake rattling it's tail.

maybe she was saying she doesnt like the new hides lol
ok thanks

That's what snakes do, some more than others. Don't let it intimidate you or she will think she's winning, seriously.

yea and if she bites you... bite her back!

Shawn, it's a snake, snakes hiss, end of story really. It might have been scared, or feeling defensive, or just feeling like hissing at you. It's not like they have a wide range of vocal or physical ways to communicate their needs or moods so I wouldn't even worry about it. Eventually as you come to know this snake you'll know when a hiss is just a bit of a grumble or when it means real business.
