The only problem with attempted petting in the viv is I can't physically get close to her without a well placed strike. I will attempt to cover over the glass doors though, it may help! I do really appreciate your input on this matter!
She has one retained eye cap which could not come off for love nor money so I have been advised that this may be a problem although the aggression did start a couple of weeks after this. Also she has had mites, I am still treating in case there are some stragglers which didn't come off after the first snake and enclosure treatment.
