Ok so you all know how I like to brag about how docile and calm Ekans is. Well for the last 2 weeks I have noticed this is becoming not so true. He has never struck at me before. He has S'ed up and rattled his tail before but thats cuz he had blue eyes from going into shed. Well he has been active and grumpy lately. He usually just goes under the paper towels and stays there for a week until feeding time. Well now he is out and about a few times a day and when I go to pick him up he tries to bite me. Im like HUH?!

NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Except ONE thing. I started to feed him IN his tub instead of OUT in another tub. Nothing else has changed. All his temps are still right. Husbandry is right. Feeding is right. The only thing that has changed is me feeding him in tub instead of out of it like I originally had been doing.

So I am going to start feeding him out of his tub again. I am thinking about doing it with my BP too. But I might not since she has been in-tub fed her whole life and I can pick her up from in the tub no problem.

What do you all think?
