She tried to bite me?

[DZ Reptiles]

So a few min. ago I walked over t my bp's 6qt tube and opend it up just like normal. I slowly stuck my hand in there to let her know I was there. (she is still very shy) As I did that she striked at me. I was really cunfused cuz she has never done this before. I ahve had since Oct. 2nd of 2010 and I handle her often. Never during shed and day before and after feeding.

I'm just wondering if this might be in the norm?

Thanx

Don't worry about it, its normal, you must have scared her. Just like slyther said, let her know your there. They can be in really deep sleep some times.

You stated that you hold her often, never during shed and a day before and after feeding... You should really wait 2 days after feeding to handle her. Handling them with a hardly digested mouse in her belly can cause a regurgitation, which is really hard on a snakes health. Just a heads up.
