    Re: Most doctile snakes? I think not.

    Theres so many factors and things that can give your snake an RI. Also, as long as your animal is eating, you could try handling him once or twice a week for 5 minutes or so each time. Alot of times a LITTLE handling goes a long way.

    I understand your mode of thinking. The thing is your not dealing with a mammal like said before. This is a REPTILE, and your choice of housing is likely the cause of the stress and aggression.

    I would seriously try to consider some of the people on this forum's advice. Some of us have more than 20 or 30 years of experience with these animals.

    I am CERTAINLY not trying to be mean, I don't think anyone else tries to be either.

    We are ALL just so passionate about these animals, we try to fix what we can when we can.

    We want your animal to be as healthy as possible, and for your interactions with it to be as enjoyable as possible, for you, and your animal.

I might put him in the twenty for a while to see how he reacts, but changing environments is like the most stressful thing so idk how much ense that makes. idk, when i had my old snake in a ten gallon he would just sit in his hide all day, and at night he would just go back n forth, and see the same over n over, atleast now in the 110 the snake can pick from a variety of hides, climbs, heat levels, and generalized humidity.
