I have a 05 male Boa Colombian 100% het albino. I got him July 05 and have never had any trouble with him or his sister at all. But now in the last 3 weeks has started hissing and striking when ever you get close to his cage. I still get him out and hold him with gloves.
What would make him start this all of a sudden???
Is there any thing to do stop this???
I have Emeralds that was supposed to be bad at biting but they never have yet! Thanks for any help!!!

This is an old trick that many a Mommy will tell you. Simply bite him back! Nobody likes to get bit and good bite back will teach him a lesson. Good luck but don't bite him anywhere near the head.

frequently babies are a little wild but it will calm down if you keep handling it. If there are no signs of ilness or injury, just keep handling it everyday, except right after eating or when in a shed, for a short period of time. It will chill.
