 Omg she bit me!!

yes, Iggy bit me yesterday. She was very itchy around her head and kept trying to get a good scratch on a branch. she was visibly frustrated by this and i kept hearing her puff.(shedding time) i had just been petting her before and she was fine. well for her at least! after i walked away and saw her scratching, i figured i’d help her out and scratch around her head where she couldn’t reach. i walked up to her and w/out ANY warning she snapped at my finger before i even touched her! It hurt like hell and was bleeding profusely so i ran it under water, managed to get the bleeding under control and disinfected/bandaged it up. then i went back to the cage, got way up higher than her and scolded her in a deep firm voice. i also placed my hand on her head as i did this so she wasn’t thinking that she "won" when she bit me.
now, i know this happens to people all of the time, and that igs are wild at heart despite our many efforts to tame them. but lately she’s been a lot fiestier than her old self. no, she never likes to be picked up or petted, but i have been trying to have more contact w/ her lately since i’ve been having problems taking her out of her cage at times. it just seems like the opposite is happening- she ’s getting more aggressive instead! she has been very evil lately and looking at me w/ a death stare. i mean, she literally stares at me like she has evil intentions! sometimes it’s really freaky...she usually doesn’t look at me at all if i’m not near her. i had to postpone her vet appt. to next week. when i go i will adress this.. i am hoping that her aggression isn’t health related.
