>>Yep. I have a few. Ditch the heat lamp and get an under the tank heater with a thermostat. Make sure he has a hot spot of 85 or so on the hot end of the cage and as cool as ambient will allow on the cool side. Place the water on the cool side. Make sure he has a moist hide in the middle or on the cool side. Feed him every three or four days an appropriate sized meal. The deep bedding is good.

I agree! Feed it more often and frequent handling should calm it down. It may be feeding mode, and not mean at all. It's hard to tellthe difference sometimes. Try picking it up after it's full, just to see if it still tries to bite? I have some Florida Kings that will attack anything that moves when they are hungry. Like Joe said feed it more frequently. ----- King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?
