First Ball :) *update*

Hey Everyone
Just want to start by saying what an awesome board this was. Not only did I find an amazing breeder, but also almost every question I could think of was answered so thank you for those who asked questions because I have learned so much from this site, it has helped me prepare for my first snake.

I just purchased my first Ball at the Rep Show last sunday, and she is absolutely gorgeous. Ill put pictures up once she settles in better.

I do have a question though, last night I tried to feed her a f/t rat and she was definately showing a lot of signs she wanted to eat (S position, tongue flicking rapidly, following the rat when pulled away) but she struck at it, hit it, knocked it off the tongs and stared at it. So I figured she just missed, picked it up, same thing. This happened once or twice more, and then she hissed after her fourth strike out.

My question is is she striking out of agression or out of hunger, and just doesnt want it, as previously she was fed live?

I do maintain proper husbandry, 86-96 hot side, 80-86 cool side and 50% humidity, rubbermaid with 2 hides (one each side), larger water dish in the middle and an HHP underneath.

Any and all critisism is openly accepted, as I feel its better to learn from your mistakes so you dont make them again. And I've learned before i got her, NO HANDLING first week. Thanks for you help!
