It was a lot of patience, keeping his husbandry just right, and fattening him up.
And if she does bite, don't react by putting her back into her enclosure, she will learn rather quickly that all she has to do is bite you to be left alone. If she tags you just act like it didn't phase you. Especially since it doesn't hurt. She'll realize that trying to intimidate and bite you does nothing.
Well hopefully our story ends like yours Maybe with a few less bites, lol.
I reached in today to fill up her water bowl and she stayed very still between her hide and wall. No snapping, but I stayed away from where she was hiding.

My daughter and I spent the morning making popcicle stick houses for her new hides. We'll put a couple in and see if she checks them out. We'll take a drive over to the nearest craft store to get some plastic vines today too.

And I thought you might all like to know the name my daughter picked for her:

Snazzy Snake-a-bella
