So she finally bit me.

[Tikall]

I upped her prey size a month ago, and it's still well within suitable range for her. Her mood changed a couple weeks after she moved into that specific tub, so she had been in there for some time right as rain. Maybe I should put her back in the smaller tub? I'll try adding some hides, but she has always just hid underneath the newspapers. Also the temps dropped a couple degrees recently, but only like 1 or 2.

She may not have anti coagulants, but maybe some enzymes? I remember reading an article recently about something having to do with all snakes once being venomous but some now use that "venom" as saliva to help wash down prey? I dunno just silly speculation. She raked more than punctured, so I think that had something to do with the sheer volume lol.

Yeah try adding hides to help her feel secure. A new environment could scare her. She is still young and probably still feels like everything wants to eat her. Besides, hides never hurt. If that doesn't work then hopefully she grows out of it with calm, regular handling. Or you can even just open her tub and sit beside her for 10-20 minutes each day if she doesn't want to be handled to get her used to you again. That worked with one of mine that I could barely even touch in the beginning.

And I think I read the same article. The "venom" in constrictors adapted to lubricate large meals going down, but there are still trace amounts of venom proteins in there.
