    Question Is he hungry?

    Hello. I fed my BP two days ago and have left him alone as many people on the board have suggested.

    He's acting a little weird though. Whenever I walk in the room that he is in, he will come out of his hide and pretty much get in a striking position. It looks just like when he is about the get his mouse. The first time he did this I was curious so I went up to the glass to look and see what was going on. And then he struck the glass! It was terrible! I felt really bad for the little guy. He's been doing it all day. Anyone know why he would be doing this?

    How much does the snake weigh and how big was the prey item that you fed to the snake? He might still be hungry if he didn't get fed enough.

    Also, can we have a pic of your setup? It could be stress.

    Wow. Your snake hates you bro.(J/k)
    Ive never heard of that or had it happen to me. But yeah he might still be hungry if his prey was too small.
