Subocs, like most snakes, are secretive and in general they are gentle animals. It sounds like your snake is stressed, and shipping a snake alone is a huge strain on an animal. My suggestion would be to give your snake plenty of 'alone time' and a good place to hide in her enclosure. Your snake will continue to react poorly when helled behind her head, and I would bet once she settles in she will be less inclined to bite. These are great snakes, good luck!

: I just got a "tame" female subadult transpecos rat who is very nervous and bitey. She supposedly just came out of brumation and I fed her the day she arrived and she ate just fine. Will her attitude get better as she adjusts? The holding behind the head routine causes her to twirl violently. Whats the best way to calm this little gal down?

: Thanks!!
