What made my Woma going nuts?

Sounds like the drilling upset her. Sounds (and smells) can change a snake's behaviour. Although, you must have a rare woma, Patrick. They are notorious for their food responses.

I know that. It is quite funny. She is very civilized ha ha. I will make a video next week. I hold the mouse infront her. She looks at it, opens her mouth and simply takes it. She does not even strike.

Lilou, our woma, usually very docile, was on our bed the other day, happily investigating every item, when I walked in the room with a plate of rotisserie chicken. I put the plate on the side table. I saw Lilou become extremely tense, and slithering towards me menacingly. She stopped about a foot away, coiling herself in a striking position. And, boy, she started a series of strikes, at some point in time flying across the bed in an attempt to get to my husband, who was standing nearby. I quickly reached out for the chicken plate and took it away, but the smell was still strong in the room.
My husband managed to put Lilou back in her enclosure. As the chicken smell dissipated, she calmed down and became the nice woma girl we know, once again.
P.S. None of us got bit. We kept our distance. No more movie-dinner in bed with snakes around, though. Not a wise combination.
