Stressed snake

[swannyuk]

I brought an albino ball python few days ago, she seems really stressed., always striking out me when changing her water., she also seem to be jumpy every time I go near her viv (3foot by 1.5foot) to check the temps, she was hatched in April this year. She hasn't moved from the same spot for the past 24 hours, the spot is right at the front of the viv

The temps are correct she has a lot of places to hide within her viv, I havent handled her apart from weighing her before putting her in enclosure the first day I got her, and seemed used to being handled.

I'm thinking of moving her in a rub into another room where it is a lot more quieter and less foot traffic
Theres not much traffic in the room she's in.

I just want to know other people opinions before I do anything

I have a few snake and never had a problem like this,

Cheers guys

That sounds like a big enclosure for a little snake

Just let her settle into the new environment for a week - plenty of time to interact after that.
