Aggression Problem

One thing to consider as well is to think of it as being defensive and not aggressive. It is not looking for a fight but trying to ward off large threats that may try to eat him. I have had hatchlings that were defensive and struck a lot and then I have had others that were chill from the get-go. Almost always they do grow out of it as they get larger and conditioned to the presence of humans so I would not worry too much and just practice slow/deliberate movements around him. The other suggestions of adding furniture, closing off the sides and back and letting him adjust are excellent as well. Good luck and I am sure all will work out in the end.

I've had two very aggressive baby BPs and found that they are primarily aggressive at night or in the evening. They also tend to be more 'strikey' when they are hungry. I have NO problem with them during the day when I wake them up to handle them. With more handling, they'll get used to you.
By the way, they are my BEST feeders.

Some babies are just more defensive than others, but they almost always grow out of it. Just clutter up his cage and remember that a bite from a baby BP is like getting swatted by angry velcro! :rolleye2:

Maybe it's just a coincidence then. The one that I have is no longer a baby so I can't blame it on him being young.

Haha, my brother is so nervous to even place the decorations in the tank. Good news is, that he ate the day this problem began. So it looks like he wont be being disturbed for any reason after thr stuff is put in :D

leave him alone than one night when you are drunk put your hands in his enclosure and just let him tag you. Once you realize it doesn't hurt at all you will be braver to handle him. Confidence really help when dealing with aggressive baby snakes. I was really afraid of my baby carpet python when i first got her and I find myself making alot of quick movement try to avoid her strike. Until she finally bite me one day and i realize it doesn't hurt at all.

Now i just go in and scoop her up, she still put on a little show but once i have her in the hands she will calm down alot and start exploring.
