It is soooo true. People who don't keep snakes just don't get it. Even though the "relationship" to the animal is different, I always tell people you do not love a snake any less than you love a cat or dog. They may not love you back in the same way, but we have chosen to take them into our care, so any abnormal behavior must be looked at with concern. They cannot whimper when they are hurting, or bark when they alarmed, so we have to watch them even more closely and look for the subtlest of signals that says something may be wrong.
Anyway, she seems fine, whatever her hissing weirdness was. I think maybe she was just mad at me for reasons unknown. I have only experienced hissing to mean "back off" so that is all I can go with. Not sure how I offended her, but apparently I did. Sorry sweetie.
