Obviously we can’t rule out environmental issues, as in noise vibrations, too much handling or temps too high etc. Any big changes to routine environment can also unsettle them enough to show some defensiveness... If you’ve got any photos of the viv and her it could help narrow it down.
Goodluck, hopefully you get her sorted!!

It's possible she's a dwarf, or not fully grown yet as well. Not every female gets large, and OP doesn't seem to know the snake's history. A good probe at a vet should be able to tell the snake's sex with reasonable reliability.
