Showing aggression

evan99 Oct 07, 2007 01:18 PM

I've had my bp for 2 years and he never hissed at me. Now it seems like he hisses every time I open his cage except for when I feed him. Hes very antisocial at the moment also, he stays in the back hides of his cage and only moves to regulate his temperature never coming to the front of the cage. He has been acting like this for 2-3 weeks.

Thought i would add he never strikes at me just loud hissing.

I have a few that due that. Hiss but never strike. Make sure all temps are good. Otherwise he is just being testy and does not want to be bothered.

hmm might need a tad more information

what are you feeding him and how often?

what are the temps on both sides? you have 2 hides right?

maybe he is just grumpy and wants a girlfriend?!?!? it is that time of the year
