She is the only snake of any kind that has acted this way or even close, so I don't know what to make of it. As a baby she was an escape artist and I often found her out of her cage. Or at least, more often than any of the others. But she never tried to run when I found her loose. She just looked disgusted and waited to be picked up. Which is one of the reasons that I included her in the group of native babies to be released. It can get aggrevating to have to be 10 times more careful with one than all the others put together. And at the time I had over 70 babies. But I have lizards running loose, so a loose baby could become lizard food. I built a more secure cage for her and I guess she is here for life.

She definately connects me with food and I wear gloves during feeding. Not because she is a biter, but because she attacks her food and fingers if they get between her and food, but she always spits me out as soon as it hits her my finger isn't a fuzzy. She is very insistent that she be out of her cage to eat or while I clean her cage. She just hangs out on top without trying to get down and has lunged off the top to land on me where she is happy to explore. Maybe she is mental?
