Hi, And welcome,
She proably wasn't handled at all prior to you getting her, I would throw a used t-shirt in her cage, she'll proably try to bite it..heheh.she'll get used to your smell .
I would use a ruler or snake hook to make her go forward and crawl a bit, I don't know why this works but it gets them out of the "S" posture.. Be sure when you pick her up your hold her around the middle try to pick her up in two places, when you squeeze to hard or only pick up one part of the snake it may hurt a bit..
Maybe she's areally nervous snake and wil grow out of it... I usally throw a small towel over their head pick them up gently, if they want to bite the towel it taste terrible..
I then sit with them in the towel and wait for them to peak out... the usally have gotten over that adrenalin head rush from you goin in the cage.. They think your gonna kill-em..
I have a litle hog island boa thats real intense when I go in her cage.. I just pick her up and try to not hurt her and we get along fine after that.. But that glare when I uncover her would make a ratsickle chill... Some times breeders are breeding for different reasons color size and such and totally don't worry about temperment...
I ve tamed grumpy argentine boas and even a grumpy garter snake they are the grumpiest little snakes they bite cause your there.owww.. They make bitter apple spray for training mouthy ferritts and the lemon works with them teethy pythons I know cause I had one slurp on my ear once for about ten mins .... dagone little snake..could have hung 16 rings off that ear for a couple days hehehehe 16 perfect little holes clean thru the ear lobes...
good luck be sure the snake has a couple hides be sure he knows your smell (that funky t-shirt in da cage thing) and keep working use a towel to cover the head until your out of the cage... The usally settle once out. give it a few months you should be fine..
doug
you could always give it to me hehehehe
