Today my BP struck at me.. He has been acting very unusual lately. I noticed it a couple weeks ago the morning after I fed him. He is usually very docile and likes to hide in his big tree hide. Normal, when he has his head stuck out from it and I walk by he hides away. After I fed him a couple weeks ago I noticed that in the morning after instead of going back in his hide like he usually does, he came right out and began watching every move I made. He followed me moving and he looked to be in a striking pose. I left him a lone for another two day, took him out and he was fine.
Today when I got home he was climbing around his cage and all and so I decided I wanted to hold him for a bit. I didn't even get the screen off and he struck at my hand with the screen still between us. I was shocked because he has not done this before.. I have no idea what has happened to him. This was just so sudden. Any ideas why he is acting this way? I want to be able to keep him but I do not want an aggressive snake.. Thank you.
