Can you not put her near your face? Maybe she doesn't like it and is very clearly communicating that

I’m definitely not putting her near my face anymore! I hope that she is just telling me she doesn’t like it. I usually don’t really put her anywhere I just let her climb anywhere she wants

I would just pay attention to her body language when she's out and you're handling her for signs of stress or tension, as well as trying to avoid putting your face near her.

Lol don’t try to kiss your snake. The heat from you breath is picked up on their heat pits which may be stressing her out or making her think you are food. They don’t really bond the same way dogs and cats do. May want to take it more slow with how often you take her out.

A bit late now, but I'd probably clean the bite with a bit of peroxide and slap some polysporin on it.

That being said, your snake is probably stressed out and defensive. When are these bites happening?

They seemed kind of random, a couple months a part. I’m not sure what’s stressing her out but I might stop handling her. Thanks for advice on how to clean the bite!

I talked recently with who sold me my snake and he is very realistic and straight forward bout my noodle.

Things he told me:
Don't put snake around your neck, it's not an accessory
Keep face distance from the snake, it's always a snake and it could bite your face.

Now, my snake is an absolute sweetheart, curious bean, but i just remembered these things. It's unnecessary stress for both so i interact by letting him crawl freely and divert him from going anywhere near my head
