Upping her food doesn't mean she is eating enough, not to tell you how to suck eggs but she should be eating about 15 - 20% of her body weight...

..also, I don't necessarily agree with the firmer grip theory...I think if your snake is biting in relation to fear or stress this will only exacerbate the problem. I had two psychotic young Stimmies - I left them both alone. They were hooked out of their tubs for cleaning etc and never handled. I then began handling at about 10mths and both are absolute dreams - haven't struck since...
