Hi I've had my RTB for two weeks now, and she's still very very mean, I've tried every thing, I handle her every day for about 15 min, I put a worn shirt with her, her cage is big enough and has all the right stuff, I've fed her twice, once a week...I don't know what else to do??

News flash: snakes bite. I don't mean to be rude, but you can't expect an immediate transition. Her surroundings are still very new to her. Some snakes are always aggressive, some grow out of it with age, some don't have a mean bone in their bodies, and some only act up on bad moods or certain stimuli that make them react the way they do. Heck, my carpet python finally calmed down after three years. I'm not saying give up on her, but take it in stride. Continue to work with her, and work around her behavioral tendencies. I'm sure it's nothing you're doing wrong. She just has to learn to trust you over time. In the meanwhile, make it as stress-free as possible. She might never change, but then again, one day you might wake up and think "Hey, she doesn't hiss or strike at me anymore."

That's one way to get accustomed to your smell. But, it doesn't always guarantee the snake will tame down after getting used to your smell. It all depends on the snake's attitude.

lol maybe it got used to your smell but doesn't like it. It wasn't a foul nasty sweaty shirt was it? Cuz actually may have some sents that trigger agression? Pheramones(sp) yeah yeah i know a cant spell.
