Interesting thread...mine was a bit testy yesterday too! But not quite as scary. He had just shed and it was feeding day, so I went ahead with the feed. You'd think he hadn't had a bite to eat in the last three months or something. Struck at the enclosure as I scented the room - I put the prey in and closed the top and he struck at the top! I just figured he worked up an appetite with all that shedding.
