I am confused. If you want her to be more placid outside of the cage, then your best bet is feeding within the enclosure.

When out we normally just let her slither around on our bed on top of us or around the couch.. unless she gets too far or might get wedged somewheres






then we move her back. She just slithers around, only aggressive when about to feed, feeding and after.
Completely different than when not feeding, when we can have her wrapped around our neck and walking around and she is chill.

Then we are dealing with hunger, give her seconds and see if it helps.

Should i perhaps see if she is just a lot hungrier? We try to get something around the same size as the thickest part of her, something fat and cute. Not always ASF's (we just go to the pet store and get feeder ASFs, regular rats. she isn't picky at all.) Although she has eaten bigger.
