Do any of your BPs do this?
One of my spotnoses has a lot of, for lack of a better word, spunk. I knew from the moment I opened the bag he arrived in that he was going to be the one that tries to bite me and he does. At first it was a little shocking, but now it's just kind of funny. I have clear tubs and I check on them several times a day by just looking in on them. Well, Clyde really doesn't seem to like me, if he's not in one of his hides when I check in on him he will slow creep close enough to be "within" striking range and then try to snap at me from inside the tub. I wish I knew what goes through his mind when he hits the plastic tub and not flesh. I am kind of worried he's going to hurt his teeth if keeps doing it though.

My male doen't snap at the us, but he does circle his cage and hisses at my husband about once a week... for a few hours at a time. Not sure what he is thinking.

Yeah, my first BP did that. Mr. Nibbles. He would guard things. Mostly warm spots and favorite hidey-holes. This included the hutch of my desk and the warm spot at the back of my laptop. And when he was in a *good* mood he would crawl around on the couch and stalk my toes. Like a kitten? With a similarly predictable ending.
But he's grown out of it. Pretty much as soon as the hormones turned on! I guess chomping at everything that moves isn't the best way to win over the girls? He spent his 2nd winter hugging his favorite cardboard tube, because I didn't have any girls that were ready for him. And he didn't eat for 5 months.

Well if he's young then it's pretty normal. We have a mojo that is just pissy all the time. He will bite given the chance . Once you get him picked up he's cool . But it's cage aggression lol. It's just funny cuz he's so small.

We have a female that's way pissy. She'll bite you if you let her. We still haven't been bit by her, but that's cause we're just expecting it. I'm sure she'll get one of us when she lays in the next week or so. Hope it's not me...it's funny, though.

My cinnamon is the only one full of piss and vinegar. Something isn't right if she isn't striking at me repeatedly while I switch paper, fill water, or attempt to feed her. She has the cinnamon attitude I've heard about... LOL. She's also my smallest snake so I'm wondering if that's coincidence or trend. We'll see as she grows.
Regards,
B

My cinny girl was like that for a long time as well. She got to 1000g and chilled way out. Now she's a dream girl. I remember telling my boyfriend when we first get her "Ya it'll be fun to un wrap this one from around a nice fat clutch of eggs.". Now I'm not worried about it in the least. I guess well see about that next year. Lol. Anyways most grow out of it, I'm sure he'll settle down.
