What are your husbandry details. Tell us everything husbandry wise, as well as feeding schedule and food types.

What size cage is she in?

Yes, I have been bitten without a mark or any pain. :]
Nope, no changes in the cage at all. I wasn't handling any kind of food prior either. The temps are pretty consistent too. Here is my set-up:

I now have my baby in a 20L tank, and here is how I set it up:

I started off by painting some cardboard black, and taping it to the sidea nad back of the tank to create a more secure feel.

I used a medium sized under tank heater on the warm side, and a small sized one for the cool side.

I have an ACU-RITE temperature/humidity monitor device on each side of the tank. (I did this so I could better monitor the temps and humidity.)

I used 4 layers of aluminum foil (shiny side facing substrate), taped in place on the inside of the screen lid with black duct tape. I then cut a square hole slightly larger than my heat lamp in the foil layer in order to allow for heat and air. I use the heat lamp in addition to the under tank heaters because my house is kept at 68* all of the time.

I put the water dish (a simple 1/2" deep dish from the pet store) on top of the substrate on the warm side to help with humidity.

I use coconut bark substrate, mixed with sphagnum moss, about 1 1/2 - 2 inches deep. This helps hold humidity extremely well, when misted 2-3 times a day.

I have 2 hollowed out coconut shells with openings cut into them as hides, 1 on the cool side, and 1 on the warm side.

I bought some cheap plastic vines from the craft section at Wal-Mart, and used them and a pair of logs to help "decorate" the tank. To help hang the vines, I used the plastic suction cup hangers found in the Christmas decoration section.

All in all, my enclosure is pleasing to look at (it is in my living room), while maintaining an extremely secure environment for my snake to live.
