I have an 11 month old male boa. He is huge! 4ft and some odd inches. I've been told by countless people that he is too young to be that large. I got him in August when he was only a foot some long. He was so tiny. I fed him once a week on prey roughly the size of his girth. Two months ago, after some advice from people here, I started feeding him on a two week schedule. Ever since then he has become aggressive. He is fine about a few days after being fed but by the fifth or say day he is snappy. He snaps at us whether the door to his cage is open or not. Reaching for him definitely results in a bite if we are not quick enough. This only started when we changed his feeding schedule.

Will he calm down or should I return him to his usually feeding schedule? He is currently on small rats. Medium rats are too big, small rats are just slightly smaller then his girth. He was an awesome snake before the change.
