In my collection i have two very large female normals. Both were bought on craigslist. They both have similar problems with aggression.
1. http://img.tapatalk.com/40796e29-0750-208e.jpg
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?
