Hey guys. Got my bp last Friday. The guy I bought her from had her on a Saturday feeding schedule. So, I fed her the day after I got her. She ate with no problems. Only change I made was using aspen bedding instead of the eco earth he was using. While I was looking over the snake before taking her home, he was holding her and she seemed very tame. I haven't really held her very much because I am still a little shakey. I was changing her water this morning, afterwards I picked her up and was holding her I thought she struck at me. I'm not even a hundred percent sure that she did. Anyways, I dropped her. Bad move. I was holding her in her cage and she only fell about 6 inches onto her bedding. I waited a few minutes before messing with her again. I reached in to pick her up and she backed up, went to an aggressive stance and struck at me again. She didn't make contact though. So, I am just leaving her alone for now. I guess I just want to know if she will strike when I try and pick her up again. I really want to be able to hold her and get over my irrational fear of being bitten. Thanks guys.
