    Do your girls get aggressive after they stop feeding?
    All my girls that have been breeding officially stopped eating at the beginning of the month. Well my Het Albino girl has gotten really defensive. I tried to feed her on the 9th and the 16th since she was posted up at the front of her tub like she was wanting to eat but all I get is defensive strikes at the rat and at me... And when I do my rounds to check on everyone she is extremely jumpy and is hissing a lot now. She has always been really calm and never acted like this before and since this is my first time breeding BP's I wanted to make sure this was normal.

    Here is a pic of her looking all fat. That is a large hide so you can get an idea of how big she is. Last time I weighed her a couple months ago she was 3600 grams and she is a lot bigger around now.

    Yea I believe breeding can make them moody. I've seen behaviour of these sorts from my males and females.

    No, my adult females are sweethearts, the only time they act aggressive is when they are in feed up mode before breeding.
    I also handle my adults every week even in breeding season they get held some.

    My 2 females that are being bred this season have not acted aggressively towards me at all. Yes, they have had some crazy feeding responses but not flat out aggression. Hope this helps!
