She's got a hide 100% of the time. I just took it off to get a better camera shot of what she does/looks like while she's doing her aggressive pose.

Any thoughts on what that means though? Why would a snake get into feeding mode, but not strike? She just sits there S curled and breathing heavy. It's almost like she just forgets that in order to eat, she's got to strike first... lol I don't know....
