I purchased a male ball about a month and a half ago and it was the most shy snake I had. I had trouble feeding at first but it quickly got agressive and started pounding mice every 4-5 days. I would walk in the room with a mouse and he would notice right away and start to come out of his hide getting ready to eat. Almost like his feeding response is overly agressive (which im not complaining about). And everytime I walk past his cage he props up like he is interested in what I am doing which he has never done before. So today i go to reach in and he nails me on my hand, when he used to flip out if i would even get near his face. He did just eat a good meal yesterday but would that be the reason for his agressive bahavior? Thought it was kind of weird. Any thoughts on why he might be so agressive now??
