So, my snake, who is almost two years old, is acting very strange. She’s constantly acting like she’s starving, and I can assure you, she’s not. She used to get mice twice a week because she was in between mouse sizes, and we finally boosted her up to a much bigger mouse. I fed her on Thursday (today is Sunday), and she’s still wanting food. This has been going on for a while and the vet told us she was hormonal eating so I didn’t worry too much, except this last feeding (and tonight) were a little different. When I fed her on Thursday she struck at the top of the cage before I lifted it off, she also came all the way out of it, which is very unusual for her. We ended up pushing her back in with a snake hook and using the top as a shield (she striked it a few times) before she finally took the mouse. Now I’ve had her since she was a baby, and she’s never been that agressive. I was a little worried, but food was involved so I wasn’t too worried. However, when I went to turn off her UV lamp and turn down her heating lamp tonight, she immediately came out of her hide and struck twice. She usually gets fed after I turn off the lamps so she usually comes out in a strike pose, but she’s never struck without a mouse there. The mouse I gave her on Thursday was more than enough for her, so I don’t understand what’s making her act so crazed? Is it just hormonal or am I doing something wrong? My other friends with snakes haven’t had a problem like this so I’m not sure what to do, and vet trips are too expensive, especially if this is an easy issue.
