I got a real aggressive female

[Atherosdragon]

It's my wife!... nah kidding I just got a 2500g+ female with a head bigger than two finger widths.. she comes right up out of the cage at my face scared the crap out of me... she struck the feeder :and i jumped out of my skin thought i was going to fall down never had one as big as her she's a beast and i probably wouldn't have been so scared if the last time i opened her cage and grabbed the bowl which she was wrapped around and her whole body jumped up about an inch and she hissed: she makes me nervous! figured i'd give y'all something that'll help ya laugh ps sorry about all the smileys went smile crazy

I don't have any that big but I felt like my enchi was hunting me down the other night. I had just gotten back from a buisness trip and I was opening tubs to check on them and he started coming out of his tub after me. He really wanted a rat.

Unless she's been striking at you I wouldn't worry too much. My 2200g female has a big head, eats like a pig and is hissy/jumpy when I touch her, but she hasn't tried to bite me yet. ^__^

I have a 3200 gram female het pied that I had traded a boa for a little over a year ago. She is everything but a pet lol. The Idiot I got her from thought it was funny to Push his four arm in her face until she would bite him to show people that it doesn't hurt . Well it seems like (in her mind) anytime you open her cage she needs to bite in order for you to leave her alone. It gets fun trying to get her out of her cage for cleaning time. Its the only time I ever mess with her because you can tell she gets really stressed out when you open her tank. She likes to be left alone so I leave her be as much as I can.

I got a huge girl that is pushing 4100 grams. She was a wild caught import at 2700 grams and just got bigger. Shes the only snake i gave a name too and shes known as toaster oven cause her head looks like a toaster oven lol. Shes so big and muscular i swear she has shoulders. Shes a bit aggressive but the good thing about the big ones is its easier to pick the teeth out when they bite.

What's the story on your girl is she an wild caught? Do you even know?

Is she just an aggressive feeder or aggressive in general?

Keep in mind that nervousness is something that animals can feel and it does not really help

[PitOnTheProwl]

my first question would be, what was her feeding schedule?
One of my 2k girls was psycho when we got her too, about 2 months later she was as good as the rest of mine It only took 6 large rats over that time to fill her up. I found out that the original owner was only feeding her 1 small rat every 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind when I got her she was 1400g and now 6 months later she is 2200g and growing.
So I would up her feeding a little more and see where things go

Wait til she is protecting a nice big clutch of eggs. You're gunna have fun with that one.

the good thing about the big ones is its easier to pick the teeth out when they bite.
