Need help with a scared baby BP

[JRLongton]

So the snake eats, poops, and sheds well enough, eh? That all sounds great!

She strikes at you when you handle her. Yeah, I can see that being unpleasant.

Most snakes will only strike when they are in their enclosure, typically when being pick up out of the enclosure. Once they are out, no problem, until they're put back. She very well may be scared being in a larger enclosure than she's used to, she may just be a shy BP, maybe something else, or a combination.

My advice, and take it with a grain of salt, you need to muscle through this one. It's little known but snakes are born with only a certain number of bites. Once used up, they can't bite anymore! Best to use them all up now while she's a hatchling!

LOL, but in all seriousness. She probably just needs to get used to human interaction. Approach confidently, maybe use a hook to take her out, and keep handling. Not too often so as to stress her, but at lest 2x a week I'd say. If she stops eating, stop handling. If she keeps eating, keep handling.

My suspicion is that after a short while she'll settle in and get used to being handled and will be no problem. She may also eventually grow out of it.
