Hello Kingsnake.com! I am proud owner of four different snakes, and I love them all to death- But!

The first snake I got was a black Mexican. It started off sweet, a good eater, and friendly to hold. Now it's a living terror!

When picked up, it flings feces everywhere and urinates. When fed, it is overly aggressive, will strike at the glass cage until I back away. Will regurgitate if I MOVE. It will not for some reason EVER accept fuzzies.

Help! How can I get him to not fling his excretions, and how can I get him to eat somethhing more his size? He is almost 3 months old now, and he's tiny because he won't eat anything to help him grow. He also thrashes around when held some times..

Can any of these problems be fixed? I tried everything wit the fuzzies. Split brain method, I removed the limbs, left him with it alone for a few days. Nothing! Please, kingsnake.com, help!
