Today my snake striked at me for the first time. i was just wondering the reason it has not happened before and i kind of nervous. could it be because it is defence or maybe b/c she is hungry? i put her back into the tank and she is still being very agressive. She is trying to strike at me even when i look into the tank Please help. she is probably still less then a year old. 300 grams. I have handled her many times before without any problems now all of a sudden she is very agressive.
