Boa doesn't like my girlfriends?
First, some history. I've had Kula for about 3.5 years now. She's never nippy, except during feeding. I've had her out to the local pet stores a few times, but I make sure I know where her head is and usually only let people pet her lower half.
About 2 years ago, I had Kula out in my bedroom while the girl I was dating at the time was over. She went to pet Kula and Kula actually struck at her. Didn't get her, but it was the first time she'd ever done that to anyone. I was pretty surprised.
Fast forward to know, I was just chilling on the couch with Kula on my lap. My current g/f was sitting next to me watching TV. Kula was heading towards her, doing the usual toungue flicking and what-not. Looked like she was going to crawl on her lap, but then she kinda backed up and hissed at her  Surprised the #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& out of the both of us.
Jeni(my g/f) didn't do anything to provoke it, in fact she didn't even move. Is Kula trying to tell me something?  I find it kind of amusing that she only does this to my girlfriends.

Trust animal instinct. Maybe it's not sensing something about her per se...maybe it's just the difference in you when she's around that the snake is sensing...
Sorry Jeni.

That's what I thought at first. I told her it was probably her perfume but she said she didn't have any on. I think she's just evil.

Hmm, it could have something to do with the smell.

I really think the snake is sensing something off of you...you were holding it when it struck, right? At a very simple, animalistic level...it can tell something isn't right...you may be tensing up when she's around...
And then there's the whole "evil" thing...

Does your girlfriend have a cat, dog, hampster anything of that nature? It could be smelling something that say food or predator to your snake. just my 2 cents

No other animals. We live together in an apartment, Kula's cage is in our bedroom. I wasn't really holding Kula when she hissed, she was more just sitting on my lap. I'm a little more concious of other people when I have Kula out, I want to make sure they don't startle her - fast movements, etc.

Looks like noone covered the dreaded menstrual time..
Quite a few animals dislike or like way too much , when its near, in, or recently passed. |
