So I don't think glass = aggression is accurate at all.
Snakes thrive in glass all over the world.
That being said, OP, you are all over the place with your replies. The thread is titled "SEVERELY NIPPY BP" yet now you're saying the snake is puppy dog tame???
I'm confused...
I've said she's nippy in her tank when trying to take her out.
When I hold her, she's tame.
I was holding her earlier today before I fed her. her head wasn't out of her hide, went in, brushed the hook against her to let her know I was there, picked her up with the hook and used my other hand to fully pick her up. She was fine.
She's only severely nippy when her head is out of her hide. Example being, I walk in my room, her heads out of her hide. She see's me and gets into a defensive strike pose. Another being I'm going into my room to go to bed, she sticks her head out of her hide and rests it atop of it to watch me relax in bed.
One person said in the thread it might be a territorial thing. Possible, who knows! That's why I'm here asking. Sometimes she's severely nippy. Other times she's just a noodle in a glass tank.
