    Hungry or aggressive?

    I,ve started feeding more frequently, about every 4 days instead of 7. I got my BP's when they were all around the 90gram range, just weighed them a few days ago, and the largest is up to 237grams and the smallest 189grams.

    Wanted to show a friend my BP's, Showed the male bee and one female pastel without problem. went to get the third bp out, when i pulled open the tub, she came racing out of her hide then stopped, I came in from behind the head like always, she Imidiatly turned toward my hand, I pulled back and she tracked my hand almost coming out the tub to follow it.

    Can she be hungry? Im feeding 1 adult size mouse every 4 to 5 days. or mabey is this an agression thing

    Sounds defensive, she might just have a little cage aggro. Although if you're at 1 adult mouse on a 4 or 5 day schedule I'd think about switching to rat weanlings, that way you'd actually have prey to go up from.

    Cage aggrovation, Hmm could this be caused by something mabey not being to the pythons liking? I hope it dosent continue on with this behaviour, I hate aggressive snakes, Still trying to get over the horrible experience I had with a snake at young age, lol

    if your husbandry is correct there shouldnt be anything in particular to anger the snake so much, some are just like that, so you probably just have a fiesty one
