We have a ball that we are getting rid of due to bitting. But I was curious as to what was causing this. The only actual bite came when my girlfriend was feeding her- as she was dropping the mouse into the box, the snake bit her on the finger, it seemed like an accident. But the next week, after we put her in the box, she took a couple of strikes at my girl's leg (but was missing by far) and then just sat there staring at us very mean-like. Even after i chucked the mouse into the box, she ignored it and kept staring at us until i closed the lid on her. it kinda scared the @@@@ out of us eventhough she's only like 2 1/2 feet long.
