My Killer Queenbee is one of these snakes. She's a year old. I've had her 3 months. She is always in high alert and will come after you when you peek in on her. Even if she was coiled up in the back, she'll come slithering up for a piece of face.
My problem with her is she also will 'tenderize' her meals. Striking repeatedly. Then sometimes she'll get frustrated and coil into a sulk for a bit. I've had her eating rat pups last month but this month she's just being supper fussy. She's struck and wrapped, only to let go a second or two later. =_=;;
I'm probably just going to have to lay off with attempting to handle her because it feels like since I tried with small session, she's been fussy on food.
If I'm lucky, I can get her fattened up and maybe she'll mellow out with weight and age. @_@;;
My biggest gal just has an amazing feeding response and finding the right s hedule for her worked like a charm.
