how can i see if my snake is readying for a attack

Snakes rarely attack non-food intruders. They defend themselves against threats. If it is actively coming toward you it is unlikely it is to attack you rather than to check you out.

You'll know if it's thinking of striking as it will generally get itself into an S shape down the next in readiness.

That's my CP to a tee, it's always wound up in the 's'...however, my Boa did no such thing last Monday. Go figure!

I call it the "S for Strike" position. No good ever comes from that.
