    Dang Moody Female radix

    My relationship with "Enforcer" (female T.radix) has always been a rocky one. She's an intimidating snake and has always marched to her own music.
    I simply take what she gives and count myself lucky. I think she trusts me but still keeps me grounded in the fact she's in charge.
    She comes out to me when I open the enclosure and usually gives me a false strike before I touch her. After that she's good-to-go.
    The other morning I opened the enclosure and she shot out of the warm hide with an upset look. I reached for her and got my usual false strike.
    As I picked her up she lunged at my face. I started laughing at her so she lunged again biting me on my ear.
    After that she was fine and our time was nice. I really love this snake as I can remember her as a baby.
    She's always been a very confident snake.
    She passed jellies this year but next year I will be pairing her up with a nice male. I feel sorry for that guy.

    She's priceless. Figuratively and literally speaking.

    Did her momma have any attitude issue out of curiosity. Can't call her a hot female (hatched at a high temp, usually can't reproduce) since she wasn't an egg, hot females often times act the same way as your Enforcer.
