I may not have been a coincidence that she voided on both of you. Maybe, it's her way of asking you to dial back the handling a skosh. Voiding is a common defensive move for snakes.

Fair points, and I appreciate the insight.
I had simply assumed that if she didn't like the handling, there would be more signs of stress like coiling into a defensive ball or going into a strike position. So much to learn, which is why I'm so appreciative of finding this site. :)

I'm not saying your bp is definitely voiding on you because you are definitely over stressing her. I'm just raising it as a possibility to consider.
