Now my female has gotten boulder, she has started strikeing the plexiglass at my fingers, now at my entire hand. She has started to become much bolder when the food comes out eagerly coming out to feed in front of me. quote]

Just a quick thought. I feed mine in a tupperware container and not in their home. If they see something warm and moving in their cage, they might think it's food and go after it. They also associate the tupperware with dinner time and eat until full. I only had 1 snake in the past strike at me in captivity and when I started feeding him in a seperate aquarium, the aggressiveness stopped and he was much more friendly.
