    BP striking everywhere

    I remember when i was buying my BP, i was given a choice between what i chose and this one that kept on striking everywhere.. immediately when they pulled that aggressive snake out, he kept striking and striking, in a span of like 1 minute i think he did strike like 20 times, and had tried to strike me more than 6 times but cant reach me since this petsmart guy is holding him well.

    i thought bps are suppose to be docile, how come that sick snake just wont stop striking lol

    i chose the calmer one, and he seems to be really really calm up to now even if he is hungry, he just chills. but when he smell the rodent scent, that's when he starts putting out his tongue and starts crawling (not striking) and strike the rodent (not me). but that other crazy snake is just insane striking everywhere and anyone.

    He's in Petsmart. He should be scared and stressed.

    well really he shouldn't be just because he is in pet smart, just a stereotype that proves true in some cases... but yes he/she is just scared and stressed and probably underfed!

    Perhaps he wants to latch on as hard as possible to you so you are forced to take him home away from that wretched place for free?

    It doesn't recognize your scent as non-threat...
