Wow ....Random Striking

[PolishPython]

Ok so I go mist down one of my tubs and my het albino boy is in there and he takes a randmon strike ...WOW ....this guy has always been a little shy but not just one strike so put his tub away and move to the next when all i hear is him striking at the tub 3 times .... It makes now sense ...I havent handled him in probably a week and a half because he was shedding and then he ate I dont get it. Temps are fine , tub is clean , humidity is fine he looks great. Any Help!!!!

Just having a bad day

My animals have them sometimes as well.

How long after the feeding did this happen? Sometimes my snakes will stay in feeding mode for the rest of the day, and strike at the tub - thinking my hand is a mouse/rat passing by. Mona did that to me once right after a meal, and she's NEVER aggressive to people. I swear she looked guilty when she realized it was me, LOL.

it happened 2 days after feeding I never handle any of my snakes until atleast 2 days after feeding thats why this was so strange to me. This guy like i said was always shy but NEVER struck ive had ALL my snakes strike atleast once feeding time, move too quick , nervous,etc but this guy never. Now he decides he wants to PMS hmmmm lol

Maybe he is still hungry, or could have been having a cool snake dream and was mad because you woke him up. I've been struck at before from the sudden awakening...

how old is he? my lesser girl is still only 3 months and also strikes at everything! funny though when i pull her out to handle her she acts perfectly fine..

your snake has bad eye sight ( just like the rest of ours ) and probably sees a blur getting close to him. he does however see a heat signature very well so he is going after it since it caught him off guard. i bet if you take him out he will stop.

Maybe he was mad at the "rain" gods.

I had ball pythons strike at me when misting down their tubs, it must freak some of them enough to make them strike.

actually snakes dont have as bad eyesight as youd think. its better then cats during the night and day!
