Aggression

[Izzys Keeper]

In my collection i have two very large female normals. Both were bought on craigslist. They both have similar problems with aggression.

1.
This one was bought as an adult. She was a sweetheart from the start. The pic doesnt show her very light colors. She produced 4 very large healthy eggs this season. After removing her from the eggs we washed her and put her in a clean tub. Immediatly after the eggs were taken this is what she became.

Absolutley a monster. I thought she was just hungry but after a few months shes still the same. She snaps at me before i open the tub and swells up if i even touch her.

2. No pic of the other snake. I tried and she came flyin out the tub at me. this one has bit me before laying eggs. Both bites were random out of nowhere slow motion bites. Now she just wants to destroy me.

Do snakes sometes never recover from mommy mode?
My other normal remained a sweet heart through the whole process but im losing credibility when i tell my girlfriend they usually wont bite. She was present for both my "attacks". Help?

hmm lol do you have empty bins that they were never in before? Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't remove all of the scent from the eggs..

I'm pretty sure she'll mellow out - how long has it been since she layed?

The one layed may 20 and the other layed june 6. They layed at my friends house in his tubs. I washed the snakes and brought them home to my tubs

Seems like the egg smell is still somewhere on them or their stuff. Wash the snakes again, put them in pillowcases or something and wash the enclosures. Afterwards put them back and leave them alone for a couple of days. If this doesn't help, it may be something other than the eggs.
