He shot himself straight out of the enclosure! I thought he was gonna hit the ground. Luckily he caught the litter dam with his tail and held himself up, about 2/3 of his body hanging out of his enclosure all fired up. (I didn't even think his tail was capable of holding that much of his body weight).

    If I go into the snake room and he's poking out of a hide he'll thrash himself like crazy back into his hide, shooting his hide up in the air in the meantime. Typically, he'll just slowly retreat.
    If he's in his hide but "peeking" outward he'll thrash himself into a different position, his hide being tossed around on top of him. Usually in this case he'll poke his face out a bit more and curiously look around.

    He's still my only snake that I've observed any behavioral change in, but man is it a drastic change!!!
    He's usually pretty chill, just sometimes a little hissy when I lift his hide. But I've never seen any behavior like this before out of him.

    If somebody was on the fence about snakes or not too sure about them, seeing Juice behave this way would probably scare them straight into a hatred for snakes. Good thing I love the crazy little jerk, hahahhahaha!!
    Sounds like you spelled his name wrong. You need to add the letter d. Juiced
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
