When we take her out to be handled we normally just let her roam about on our bed or couch, she is normally really good being handled, doesn't seem bothered by it, just slowly slithers around like she would in her hide.

Had people maybe suggest that could just be the season change bothering her.

A weight/length/picture showing size would really help because there is a chance she is just hungry. I worked with some breeder females that would take 2 large ASFs plus if I had any f/t smalls left over. Switch to feeding in the enclosure like you planned, substrate ingestion is little to worry about. If she has never been exposed to a male and is still eating normally, then I doubt it has anything to do with the breeding season. Do you know what caused the scratch? Also, remember, you secret pheromones and all kinds of other chemicals depending on your mood so if your GF approaches her anxious then that can very well trigger defensive behavior in the animal.
