    My first bite was, litterally 10 min ago.

    Understandable (I guess?)
    well im in a touring band and we just got back from a 1 week mini tour, I walk into my house, say hello to everyone (family..) walk over to the snake tanks take ziggy out for about an hour, put him back, take out marley, and then I take out elmo, and put him back. I noticed my sister was a little messy when changing marley's water so I replace the soaked substrate and then I go to put her bowl down in her tank and she strikes at me and then quickly pulls back into her hide. I SAY its understandable since she's used to being handled daily and then she misses the week im gone. But is that really enough for her to be all pissy? she reminds me of my ex girlfriend. hahaha. atleast it didn't hurt. :]

    She's a snake, snake's occasionally nip. She may be stressed, or hungry or just didn't want to be bothered by you at that moment. It happens but if it continues and she's suddenly very reactive like this, always look to her husbandry first. Welcome to the bite club LOL.

    ehh im not to worried about it.
    temps and humidity are where they should be.
    she probably just got annoyed at me or something.
    she has always been a little stand offish when it comes to being touched, like she will usually tighten up or grab onto something like a hide to stay in her tank, I guess she finaly got fed up haha. atleast her 2 brothers are good with people. and yeah haha I was waiting for one of them to bite and I kinda knew it would be her. The 2 boys actually seem to enjoy being handled which is good :]
