I dont know how long you've had her or how big she is, but my sunglow was like that when i first got her (she was about 20 inches long or so). She just hadnt been handled much and once she realized i wasnt gonna eat her she's fine. She probably bit me 30 times or so the first week, but now the only time she even strikes if if i reach under a hide to try to get her out. If she's anything like mine she should calm down nicely.
