Atherton Jungle not very happy!

Hey guys,

Well, I need some help
I got my little Atherton Jungle Hatchling 2 weeks ago and I originally put her in a small plastic click clack container
She was very happy in here and loved to come out and had never snapped at me

I went to a pet shop on Sunday and stumbled across a small glass tank built for reptiles (pic attached)

I grabbed this because I thought, yes, I can finally use my heat pad for her!

I put her in there Sunday night and ever since then, she has been snappy and bad tempered, constantly coiling up ready to strike

Now I am just wondering what the cause of this could be??
Is it stress or has she become territorial!?

I gave her bark to hide under, and she seemed happy when I put her in there, she came up to the glass and had a look at me then moved around for a bit before hiding, whereas in the click clack, she would hide straight away

Thanks for everyones help in advance

Mel
