Answer 1

she is displaying a defensive mechanism but all it means is she doesn't feel secure just leave her alone for a while  

Answer 2

It's a nervous twitch. A lot of snakes do it. If the snake is in dry leaves, it can sound a lot like a rattler.

Answer 3

See my reply in your email, as requested.

Answer 4

most if not all kingsnakes make their tail rattle to ward off predators by acting like a rattlesnake out in the wild. this is a defensive mechanism used only when they feel they are threatened.

Answer 5

These snakes do this as a way to get you to get away from them.  It is a defensive mechanism.
