When my smaller male Boa, Butch did the same thing once, I was puzzled.
He slammed the glass again the next day as I walked by which is just soooo out of character for this sweetheart. Even though he wasn't due for a feed, I fed him anyway. He didn't slam the glass anymore and hasn't acted that way again.

I reckon just like humans, these guys can have sudden cravings for food as well. My adult BP has gone into major feed mode before way before scheduled feedings.



Butch, Wild Type/Common BI

He wasn't just striking at me, he was scared. Whipping his tail around, trying his best to get away from me, and eventually hissing.

When I opened the door to give him fresh water, he only made mock strikes and didn't actually come after me. I figured I may as well give him fresh water after him soiling it, though.

I don't really think he's hungry, this appeared to be purely defensive. I've been feeding him a large rat every 3 weeks to get him ready to be fasted, because I'm out all of rabbits. His last meal was meant to be the last for the year, but that was only 17 days ago.

Again, I don't think he's hungry, but we'll see how he acts later today and the next few days.

We had YET ANOTHER fridge failure, so if he is indeed still hungry, I won't have any more food to give him until we get a new one. No use in ordering snake food until we have something to put it in.

Which this time it kinda sucks because only Layne Labs has small rats, and to get everyone's food from LL will be over $500 with shipping. I can get all but the small rats from Perfect Prey for $213 but then just the small rats is another $160 from LL. Which is ridiculous. Big Cheese is out of small rats and bigger so I could get MAYBE half of what I need there. My father has yet to begin fresh pairings with his rabbits so it will be another few months before I can get any rabbits.

My father is going to give me one of his chest freezers so maybe I'll be able to salvage my snake food for once next time this happens.
