I've noticed a big difference in my snakes behavior between day time & at night. I know my BP's nocturnal, but I'm noticing a recent change in his night time activity. He's always been more active at night, but over the past few weeks he's been very "stropy" lately at night when I go to handle him. I haven't been over-handling him either, so I was just curious if this is normal. He's probably about 6 months old, and I understand they're a little more aggressive when younger. How long does this stage usually last??
