My snake was on a few week hunger strike. Then he ate a 50g rat, then went on strike for another few weeks. This week we chomped down a 50g rat, then was still acting hungry so 2 days later I fed him a 90g rat that was 2 days ago. Tonight he is still acting hungry, comes out of his hide a little bit when someone comes in the room, gets all S-shaped. I figure what the heck he's gotta know the difference between my hand and a rat. WRONG. I opened the cage door, he struck at my hand, so I nudged him back in his hide with his water bowl, think maybe he's calmed down, take his hide off of him and reach in to pick him up so I could check under to make sure he hadn't peed and bam he decides to proceed to bite me.
He is 1200 grams last time I weighed him (before his hunger strikes) and the 90g rat is just about the right size for him. Is he just super hungry from being on strike? Or has he decided to hate me?
