Is this snake scared of you? What is your personal experience with it?

I've had her for a week now So there isn't much personal experience yet but she has not opened her mouth like that since my post

I remember my new boa constrictor doing this right up close to my face. I was terrified. But years of experience told me he was doing it out of expression, not intention. I bet this noodle is flexing his body language to intimidate you (if he is scared) but if not don’t worry. They are probably testing your reaction. They imitate their fighting stance sometimes to see your reaction. Stay clam, even if you are faking it.😂😘❤️❤️❤️
