So I fed Damien a couple of hours ago. It was my first time feeding him a rat. He usually eats two mice. He has been coiled since feeding and is acting very defensive. First time he's been like this after feeding. He usually just goes about his busniess after.

I tried to loosen him up with a hook and he struck at it. I've never seen him strike at anything before that he didnt eat. I'm kinda nervous about handling him. I feed him outside of his tank so at some point I'll have to put him back in.

Anyone know why's he's so moody?
