She might be 'testing' to see if you'll put her down if she hisses. Sometimes snakes will bluff with a hiss, or bite, to be left alone. Even if she were to bite, I'd avoid putting her down immediately thereafter, otherwise she'll have gotten the response she wants. If you put her down even after she hisses then she'll know she can buffalo you. Try to maintain solid points of contact while holding her, yet avoid a restraining grip. As Bry alluded to, she may not feel comfortable quite yet if she's slipped a time or two, and not sure what your reactions will be. Time, and regular handling, should establish that trust.
