So I have this ball python (Chloe), and she's about three and a half feet long. Lately, she's been really bitchy. It's like her skin is really sensitive to touch and she has this particularely sensitive spot about three inches back from her head.

I noticed a difference when I took her out to slither in the grass about a week ago. Oh, and we fed her when she wasn't quite done shedding and so a theory is that her skin didn't have the elasticity that it should have, so she's just sore. But it's pretty bad because pythons never bite out of self defense and the boyfriend has been bitten like three times now.

If anyone can help us out, that would be great. I'd like to hold her and play with her but she's so angry. She even hisses just when I open the cage, I don't even have to touch her.

Oh, and she doesn't ever stay still anymore. I guess snakes are nocturnal, but she doesn't sleep during the day either. She slithers up and down all the walls of her cage and usually ends up falling over with a thud.

So yeah, any help would be appreciated.
Much thanks.
