My daughter and I had her snake out on Sunday. We often take her out in the afternoon, of the night we are going to feed her, because we know we can't handle her for a few days.
She hasn't been out as much lately, because I was in the hospital for 5 days, kids back to school, etc. So life has been a bit crazier then normal. But I would say she has been out once a week during this busy time.

Anyway, we had her out for maybe 20min- not longer then 30. My daughter went to put her back in her tank and the snake was sort of in a strange position, I can't say my daughter was trying to Uncoil her from her arm, not really sure what was going on, because I couldn't see over her shoulder real well. But all within seconds, it appears to me that the snake struck towards my daughter. Of course, she pulled her arms back & looked at me (the snake didn't get her) I said "Did she try to bite you?" and my daughter said "no, I think one of her scales was caught on the flooring" (we have that green reptile "carpet" in the bottom) She said it appeared it was stuck, my daughter heard a noise, and just thinks that head motion was the snake getting herself "unstuck"

I dont think so, I suspect she was maybe stressed from being out longer then normal, and that we haven't had her out as much?? and maybe hungry? (although she hadn't shown signs of that- she's just been sleeping in her hide around the clock No real sign of going into a shed either- temps/ humidity good. She did eat like a champ that evening. and dragged it into her hide, which was hilarious, because her hide is nearly too small for her. So it was raised up in the air, as she was turning around in there, trying to digest the mouse.

Im glad my daughter doesn't think it was an attempt to bite, because I dont want her afraid of her... but now Im a little cautious

any ideas ??
