Ouch! Sorry he decided to remind you that he's a wild thing ...I really hope you can get him back to where you were before this setback.
I always wonder what might set off a snake this way...

Re: A minor setback
Ouch. When young any change can be scary for them. I wonder if her new smell set him off?

I think sometimes they just don't want to be bothered. And, since they can't tell us, they show us.

oh he gave u a lil red badge of honor! congrats!
i think both the musking and bites/strikes were defensive and not aggression. the musking esp. makes me think he got scared, startled or wanted back in a safe space (enclosure)/left alone. maybe he was thrown off by your SO, maybe it was a sudden movement or approach; maybe Klauss forgot where he was and who he was with. i'm sure he will get better and chill out w/ regularity and routines.
RIP Mamba

Re: A minor setback
Sorry to hear this Ziggy. My guess is he was overstimulated w/ someone else in the room. Kind of like when I introduced my new BCI to the family pet, wife and kids........BAM....tagged for the 1st time

I was thinking that too...suddenly he felt out-numbered & it scared him.
I got a bite once when I happened to walk in front of a mirror holding a snake that had been doing just fine...apparently the sudden flash of what appeared to be
motion coming from the other side of him made him lash out at me, the one holding him. Just a bit of panic...

Re: A minor setback
Hopefully he grows out of it with age and handling. But it does seem a bit concerning he may bite out of no where. Again hopefully he grows out of it. Also your bco is making me miss a argentine boa I used to own a long time ago. He was pretty mean but I tamed him down with regular handling.
