dunno if this is the right section but i just got a female ribbon snake about a year and a half old (or so im told) and the guy put it in a cloth bag for me, when i went to put it in its cage it was real lively and actually put its mouth over my palm, didnt sink any teeth in but it gave me a jump. are these snakes usually this aggressive or was she just trying to protect herself and jumpy from the 40mile ride home?

i got this big girl for my girlfriend and now shes a little scared to handle the snake, i plan to not even go near the snake for a few days to let her get settled into the new enviroment but if shes gunna stay aggressive im gunna have to give her away.
