Hey fplks,

2 weeks ago, I purchased a 5 ft albino pine snake from a very reputable pet shop. I held the snake for an hour at the store, kids at the store were holding it. It had a great disposition.

Well they sent it home with me in a pillow case. I took the snake out a few hours later and he has turned into the snake from hell. He was trying to bite me..hissing non stop..just out of his mind.

I put him in a nice 40 gallon tank and left him alone for a week.

Well I brought him out for xmas as a present for my son, and he's worse now than before. Now hes striking the glass, and I tried to get a hook on him just to tail him, and he really is quite intimidating to say the least..

Any ideas?? Suggestions..He is a gorgeous snake and I do want to keep him. I want him to be a snake you can handle, not a snake where you walk pass the cage, hes just going to hiss and strike.

WTH?? LOL

Thanks for any input
