Ok, this may seem like the gauntlet, but it does work for some of my more 'pissy' snakes.
Open the enclosure, tap her on the head, and hopefully she will ball up and try to hide her head. She will be more preoccupied with saving herself than striking at you.
It is also a great way to start her on the path of conditional learning. Tapping on the head will signal to her that your not food, and will pick her up.
Lol, like I said, may seem like the gauntlet right now. Why not try it with a wooden spoon or something with a long handle thats not going to poke her eye out?
