Sirtalis has been "grouchy" ever since she gave birth to 8 little ones. She's never striked at me before, and today when I fed her, she didn't really strike at me, but she just sort of went towards my hand with her mouth open, but it was definitely to bite me. She doesn't move as much as she did when she was gravid, either. She just sits in one place, and when she does move, she just pokes around, really slow. She used to zoom by and go crazy. When I tried to pick her up, that's when she tried to bite me. It seemed like I was hurting her, but I was barely doing anything, I didn't even have her up yet. Also, I have her a worm, and she wouldn't even sniff it. The worm literally crawled over her and she didn't bother touching it. She usually just devours her food as soon as she sees it move!

Another thing, I think her mouth is sore, too. She sometimes opens one side of her mouth and closes it (sort of like chewing). Today, when I looked at her when she was in her hide, her mouth was a little tiny bit open.
