He was striking for food in his reg enclosure when it wasnt even close to his feeding day. I feed him in a seperate enclosure to avoid "tank aggression" or thinking my hand is food when I reach in for him. And I pick him up with a hook to transfer to and from his feeding tub, and use my hand for regular handling. Granted this is my first snake, I did a ton of research and on countless forums/websites/videos suggest feeding in a seperate enclosure for this reason. I believe this is just preference to individual owners and individual snakes. Like I said, I havnt really had much of a problem after a week or so of moving in the mice.
