She suggested two things, always feed in another container and have the food in it first and wash my hands before getting Wiggles or start to use tongs. I did the first suggestion for about 2 months and that seemed to break the constant attacks on my hands. Now I have gone back to feeding Wiggles in the aquarium but I do use tongs and I do wash my hands if I have touched the food. Wiggles is back to being a nice and friendly snake who no longer lunges at me or bites every time I come near. As well I have read that female snakes are much more aggressive eaters. Hope this helps.
yeah i think that's why alot of snakes turn agressive... or seemingly so... mine tried to nip at me after feeding them in the enclosure for a month or so because i got lazy lol back to feeding outside the cage and they went right back to normal! sounds like you got some pretty good advice!
