She quite defensive, and if we can't break her of her nasty demeanor before the snakes reach adulthood, she may very will eat poor Zephyr before letting him mate with her. She's already bitten Smulkin. It's strange, when I handled her at the herp show, she was quite docile, but as you can see, she's pretty defensive now:
