Also, we initially had been moving her to a separate feeding tub so that she could eat while we spot-cleaned her enclosure. This was a mistake on our part as she started to associate handling with eating. So, she is only fed inside of her enclosure now and we don't handle her at all on feeding days.

How old is she? Do you think a 2 year old kingsnake could just calm down like that?(not really calm down, but be less bitey)
