    A photo and weight+length details might help: sometimes snakes that are "aggressive" are hungry! And sometimes with good reason!

    What are you feeding her? if she's being under-fed unintentionally, that could cause this behavior. If she's eating prey of the proper size and frequency,
    something else might be going on. Snakes digest faster when they are kept warmer...what are the cage temps? They also digest very fast if they are
    "sharing" their food with internal parasites....have you taken a food sample to the vet to check for intestinal worms?

    Snakes may also be "cranky" if they are in pain or other discomfort, or if other things in their environment are causing stress (kids? other pets? vibrations from
    loud music or new roof being installed, for examples) Many snakes are called "aggressive" when in reality, they are "defensive"- anyone teasing her, scaring her?

    New cages are stressful (scary) to snakes also...they feel threatened by changes & need patience. But she mostly sounds hungry to me.
