She's looking great! Too bad you need a glove though...some rat snakes can be like that, especially the Oriental ones. The only "insane" rat snake I have is my Korean,
but he only gets handled briefly when I clean his cage, & we have a "routine"...he goes right into a pillowcase for me while I work. He really makes it clear that he hates
being held & will nip if held too long...he acts like a racer, and is way bigger than your "noodle", lol. He's about 6' long & quite a solid body, so a bite would get my attention.
