When I first got my normal (Booboo, don't laugh) he/she came from petco and didn't look too good so I was like aww I'll save it. And I did and Boo is very sweet and never bites or tries to strike even when she (I think it's a she) was a baby. Well this new one (I haven't named it) is wayyyy opposite. It's an '11 and still very small. He came out of the bag from the breeder striking. After a couple days he's warmed up and I can hold him and he's twitchy but if I set him on the floor and then try to pick him up he's all bite. I get that he's scared but he bites at everything that moves and idk if he'll come out of it. Are all babies like this and my Boo was just special? I'd rather have a snake thats scared and balls up then one that immediately strikes. Also- side note on the 'evil' part - he sticks half his body out of his hide and in strike mode he just stares at me. In my other post I said I'm temporarily sleeping on the floor well I woke up in the middle of the night and there he was like that. He does it in the day too.
Hey,

Type on youtube ' JKR Pro Tips - Aggressive hatchlings '. Justin shows a technique that seems rather good to me, Give it a shot it could help.
