    Agressive??!?!?
    Ive had my python for about a year now, and she was always very nice.
    Recently I can barly get my hand into the tank to put water in there, Shes gotten really agressive, and even strikes at my hand outside the tank....How do I fix this? Ive heard over and over to handle it a little bit everyday but how can i handle it if its constantly trying to bite me

    Tell us a bit about your enclosure. She may be feeling stressed out due to a feeling of insecurity. they love those little tight spaces..perhaps you could put a towel over the enclosure so she can't see you, and maybe some balled up news paper to tighten up her space. Good luck with things :gj: :)

    55 gallon could be too big. If you could provide some pictures that would be awesome. In the mean time, try making her feel a bit more secure by adding some news paper and stuff. How are her feeding habits? is she a strong feeder? troubled feeder? is she eating mice or rats? how many per feeding?
