Also, this is just a thought... But my yearling male is in a viv right beside my 13-year-old blind guy who always comes out to greet me when he feels/smells me come into the room. He always seems to follow the bigger, calmer snake's 'cues' for lack of a better word. If you decide to make her an environment where she doesn't have to be handled, maybe try to put it beside a group of very friendly snakes? It's a longshot, but constantly seeing them react positively to you might eventually get her to a manageable state where she won't flip out for basic maintenance/handling.
(I apologize if this has already been suggested, but I haven't had time to go back and re-read the thread)

Re: What to do with very aggressive garter
I hadn't thought of this. I actually think its a great idea. She is obviously intelligent , scarily so, so I could see this working. I did also wonder if I let her live with one or more of my obscurus if that would help but she's a decent amount bigger and I have no idea if she would take kindly to other snakes. I will sit in front of her viv and handle my snakes there. Thanks for the suggestion anythings worth a shot.
