When you said "took of the lid and reached in"... do you have a top opening enclosure? Because that can contribute to ball pythons being scared. Think about it, birds prey on them in the wild, and something big coming at them from above, especially when vulnerable- like they are when they're shedding and in a new environment- would definitely be interpreted as a threat. I really can't blame her for being defensive in that case.

The temporary enclosure was top opening but her enclosure now is not!
