I found the thread about your snake: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ression-thread

You had him for six years an didn't think the bird was causing the new problem. I'll bet he'll be fine now. The only other thing I didn't like reading in the other thread was you try to feed him two rats at once. Smaller meals are fine just offer the smaller meal more often ( seven days instead of ten).

As for the snake having his own room an you having to open the door slowly. Put a sweep on the door (10 beaver bucks) or build a curb the snake can't climb over. That way the snake won't get hurt or escape.

Good luck!
