Hi my male FWC defecated this morning and then started eating his own faeces he ate quite a bit before i moved him when i moved him he got very aggresive he is normally calm even when feeding. As anyone else seen this behaviour? Is it likely to cause him any harm? How can i stop it happening again?
Thanks you for any replys.

If you are refering to False Water Cobra's, then they can be "edgy" & become aggessive, esp. when feeding. I'm not sure why it was being copraphagous, but the solution would be to remove its feces as soon as possible from the caging.
