Why did Nova just turn on me?

[ccook94]

She puffed up and hissed at me when I tried to pick her up out of her tank for no reason.

 

[ccook94]

I did an experiment with her and it's the uvb light that makes her do it

 

[PatsyB]

What was the experiment?

 

[ccook94]

I finally was able to get her out and she was fine so I tired the uvb light on its side so it would shine on her and I put my hand in front of her and she started hissing at my hand again.

I've heard that having the UVB on the side of the tank hurts their eyes. They have those little ridges over their eyes that protect them from having the light shine directly in their eyes.

Its sitting on top of her cage though
