Aggressive Snake?

[melcvt00]

Ok my big ball had been acting really snappy lately, I thought it was because I hadn't been able to handle him as much. Thank you.

Suddenly being snappy could also mean being hungry. What are you feeding, and how often?

I was feeding two Weaned mice every Thursday then a couple of weeks ago he stopped eating two and would only eat one. i could tell he was still hungry after the first but he still wouldn't eat the second. Thursday I gave him a large mouse he seems to have Chilled out a little but I haven't really bothered him except yesterday when I had to fix some stuff in his tank.

I read last night that if your snake doesn't ball up she's fearless and content. Mine last night laid on the couch while i watched a movie fully extended and feel asleep.

I find it best to warn them before I pick them up. Even if they are looking at me, I like to stroke their back a few times before I go to lift them, so they know whats about to happen. I'm sure it's completely unnecessary, but I feel it's polite if anything else. Emrys has had a few times where he was a bit cranky and looked like he might want to strike, and I just left him alone for a day or two and he was fine to be handled again.
