So I've had my ball python for about 5 months now. She's only about a year I think. She's very sweet and I handle her a fair amount; about once a week and she's never snapped at me. I've been feeding her the live male mice at Petco that are like 3.99 I think and I wait two days before and after to handle her. This week she shed and pooped on Wednesday so I had to handle her so I pushed her feeding day until Friday and she ate just fine.

Today, my boyfriend ran his finger along the outside of the cage (he thinks he's playing with her) and she totally snapped at the outside of the cage like she was going for a feeder bite. She always hangs out in her log, sometimes in the striking position and I'm not sure if she's being underfed or what. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
