snake aggression

mack1time Dec 05, 2006 12:28 PM

So I was just cleaning out my boa tank of my breeders. The male used to be handled at least 2 times a week and was a very calm specimen. He fed 2 weeks ago but I have noticed definate tail wrapping since than and have not handled either.

Now while cleaning the tank and trying to remove the male he was nippy and sparatic?

Is this normal?
And should i feed either again soon or let them finish?

My males do not get aggressive. You might have startled him, or he looks as if he is going into blue. He might not have recognized you. I feed mine anytime they will take it, in blue, or in breeding.
