BP on her "period"
So my female 11 month old pied has started getting an attitude. She's hissing has even struck at me a couple of times. She's usually a shy, calmish snake. She's also eating has become aggressive. She's always been a good eater but now it's more aggressive. Is she reaching sexual maturity and on her snake "period"? I was curious if this has happened to anyone else.

Female snakes do not shed their produced eggs like human females...they are simply reabsorbed to my knowledge.

Re: BP on her "period"
Have you weighed her recently to see if she needs to be bumped up a prey size? She could just be very hungry.

She weighs 470 and she's been getting 2 rat pups, so I can finish those up. I just bought her rat weanlings to move up to.

She's probably just hungry. Snakes don't get their "periods".

My male pastel must be on his period every time I pick him up. He's always hissing at me when I pick him up. Your snake is almost ready for small rats. Bump up the feeder size or feed every five days instead of every seven.
