Florence hissed at me. I backed off right away, as she was obviously trying to send a message. That's fine. Much respect.
What I'm worried about now, though, is that my relationship with her is going to change permanently. I don't want to be scared of my snake, or to be nervous around her, but I'm definitely wary now.
Also, how long should I leave her alone until I try and hold her again? Two weeks? Three weeks?
We had a really nice visit last night. I had her out for almost a full hour. She curled up next to me on the couch. We shared the same blanket. I guess she just needed more time to decompress after that.
I feel bad for stressing her out so much that she hissed at me. Poor girl.
