Just missed getting tagged!

Went to take Austin out to hold him for a little bit tonight since he had his head sticking out of his ceramic flower pot dish hide. He saw me coming and pulled his head back in, so I started lifting the dish and whack! he struck out at me, fortunately hitting the side of the dish and missing my hand. This is the first time he has ever done that, I don't know if he just wasn't in the mood to be bothered or what. I know I didn't startle him because he saw me coming and he's not in shed and his last feeding was on Sunday. Maybe the recent thunderstorms have stressed him out. Anyone else have this happen out of the blue.

You know I wonder about that. We're having major t-storms here since yesterday on and off. My snakes all refused a feed last night (and that's never happened before) and one of my females who has never once hissed in almost a year of having her....hissed so much I nearly jumped a mile high. I think had I pushed it she'd have nailed me but I just quickly changed her newspaper bedding and backed off.

Wonder if it is the weather?

We're getting some nice t-storms too, but i haven't noticed anything different with the group.

I miss thunderstorms, the smell of rain, the color of the sky afterwards...*sigh*

Nothing like a good thunderstorm with thunder so loud it shakes the house!! We had friends stay ovenight with small children, the were in the military coming from Alaska. We had a huge thunderstorm that night, their kids were crying like it was the end of the world. :)

NB, Canada has had a few good rockers and I think we will be getting a few more tomorrow!
My Bp has been good... ate his very first rat ever a few days ago.
I picked him/her up 2 days ago and she was very nice!
That rat made her look way bigger now... I can't wait until she eats more of them! YIPPY BIG SNAKES ROCK! To a certain point! lol No Burms pls! YIKES!

Tell me about it. *sigh*

My ball has struck me once. I guess I startled it and he thought I was food. I think he just gets too excited. :D

Whenever we have really good t-storms for a couple days all my snakes go crazy, and it happened to my moms as far back as she can remember to. Just wait till there over and give hima few days to get over it. I think it may have something to do with sudden pressure changes and air changes.
