Seems like she's got used to not being disturbed.

My mental checkered has been mental from the moment I got her. She's constantly posturing to bite me, false strikes at me, but doesn't musk. If there's the smell of food in the air she'll bite and won't let go. I'm sure that hyper-aggression is a behaviour that can be learned and unlearned, although in your case there doesn't appear to be a significant trigger.
It's difficult, but confident handling is what will get them accustomed to being held. Difficult to be confident handling when every quick move makes you think you're going to bleed.
