I have moved all of my BP's to tubs about a month ago (horray racks!), and everything has been going great. Until a few days ago....

My male cinny has suddenly decided that he must strike at ANYTHING that comes in front of his tank. He struck at me HARD 4 or 5 times a few days ago while I was tending to the snake in the tub above him. I was pretty convinced if he tried hard enough, he'd come right through the plastic!!! (ok, not really)

Its weird, because he's never shown any kind of behavior like this before. Now, every time anyone walks past his tub, he strikes. Hard. He's always S'ed up and ready to strike.

Could this be because its the mating season? Has he just turned into a huge butthead? I've been keeping a cover over him since, because as jerky as he is, I don't want him to hurt himself. I am the kind of person that handles each and every snake, and I'd hate to think he's turned into one of those snakes that just sits in his tub and is never handled.
