rub the scent of a dead mouse on your hands then wiggle your index finger in front of its face - always works

When i saw a king in a shop i handled her and had no problems whatsoever. Once i got her home, and after a settling in period, she started to tail rattle and look like she would go for me if i went close enough. I hooked her out to begin with then she musked on me. She never bit me though. This continued for about a month before she was comfortable enough to get back to her previous calm self and has stayed the same since.
