    I am sorry but if you are using a unregulated (timer does not count) heat source inside the enclosure, you are doing it improperly. Your snake may be striking because he is uncomfortable.

    We just really do not want to see your next thread be "Why does my snake have red/brown scales on his belly?". Or worse yet, in the Rainbow Bridge section.

    Keeping a heat pad inside an enclosure is extremely risky. And not regulated (timer doesn't count) is even worse. Please don't get defensive at this point, no one is attacking you, but you're most certainly improperly using the UTH.

If you don't want to take our advice, then what we've already done is all we can do.
    Like i said in the last post **When I have the Money to Convert his Tank, he will Have a Sticky Heating Pad on the bottom of his tank just like my other snake does** And i can't post pictures, my phone is broken.. I also never said i wasn't going to take your advice. I only posted this thread to try to get an answer or help on why my snake was being aggresive, not to be told that what im doing is wrong. Im not new to Snakes.. but yea Thanks for Your Advice.

    If it is in the tank you are using it improperly. If you can't afford to get a proper tank right now then just buy a $5 plastic bin to keep it in till you get a proper setup. It's cheap and would be a lot safer.

    Everyone in this thread has attempted to tell you why your snake is being aggressive. Please take a look at the care sheet.

    Um hey EVERYONE! I think she GOT THE MESSAGE! She said it repeatedly. So, quit repeating what others have already posted about. Also, don't tell her not to get offensive when you're being so negative towards her. She got it, she said they were going to fix it when they could.Be positive and supportive instead of demeaning, it works better when someone is asking for help and advice, not criticism. I'm not trying to start an argument, but she is trying, build her up instead of putting her down.

    I agree to a point. But frankly, I believe everyone here is a little more concerned for the snakes health than her feelings. Folks can get pretty passionate about that stuff.

    But I agree the point has been made.
