No apology needed. I'm actually a bit surprised that they didn't mention that she was gravid to me right from the start, because the guys at this store are usually pretty on top of things and have not steered me wrong in the past. I guess everyone makes mistakes.

My main concern was that the snake not be injured; people wanted to pry its jaws open and that didn't seem like a good idea to me. In my experience with being clamped down on by other animals (hermit crabs, parakeets and such) it is usually best to just be calm, try to get the animal to relax and they'll let go in due time. But after waiting for quite a while, it seemed to me that she had sort of gotten her teeth stuck, so every time she tried to let go, she would feel them twist a bit and feel that her teeth were stuck which would freak her out more and she'd bite down even harder.
