She bit me!

[jossh27]

Had my cal king for a while now and shes only bitten the previous owner once and that was because he was doing a show and reached into her travel bag to pick her up AFTER he was finished with another snake. cal kings eat snakes... silly move on his part. anyways, shes never once come across aggressive in anyway that i could tell. today she was half out of her hide so i decided i was going to take her out and handle her for a bit... i reached in towards her head with a open hand to let her smell me and as soon as she bumped her nose into my finger she decided she wanted to eat me and took a nice big bite into my index finger! she then put me in a "death wrap" which made things much less comfortable. i picked her up and instead of going to the garage to get a axe i decided to go into the bathroom and ran warm water on her head for about 15 minutes till she decided to let go... after she let go she wasn't finished with me and tried to take another go at my hand, but i managed to pull away in time

why would she do this? she ate Thursday night, so i dont think shes hungry.
i dont have any other snakes, so she wasnt smelling them. the only thing i can think of is i havent been handling her much lately because i was out of town for work for a while.
