    do I dare try to mess with her? No offense but i prefer not to be bitten? I'd rather feed her.

    You say you fed her on Monday...as in yesterday? If so, then feeding her again so soon is not a good idea. Wait until next Monday. Also, if you just fed her yesterday, then the very best thing you can do for her is to leave her alone for another day or so...so she can fully digest her meal. Handling her within a day or two after feeding can cause her to regurge (throw up) her meal.

    Do you have any pictures of your snake and her setup? It might help if you do.
    Personally, I wouldn't feed her again so soon. I have one that likes to hang out on top of her hides a couple of days after feeding. I have no idea why she does it, but she always spends a couple of days a week like that.

    so are you saying that I should try to feed her a small rat pup or somthing before messing with her or maybe just see what she'll think about being handled at this point?

    Actually no it wouldn't have been monday because it's been over 48 hours since I fed her and that's the only reason I'm worried about handling her at this point....because she seems too alert...not like she usually is...so I'm scared the rat wasn't big enough and she's still hungry due to the fact I only got a small one and I usually give her a medium every 2 weeks.....but that was when her cage was colder.....
