Im Confused...

chuck420 Feb 15, 2004 12:50 AM

today when i went to feed my king...i have one of those big caves that have the magnets and are on both sides of the glass...i didnt take the back off much before so i dont think he remembered and when i took it off i found him in shed, but also very angry and he struck at the glass like 4 times, before this he has never showed agression except when feeding. also he shed 3 weeks ago and he is shedding again? is this because i moved him to fuzzies and hes growing faster now?

I have a Tarahumara Mtn. King that was shedding every three weeks, a few years ago. Just a major growth spurt I guess. Was your snake fully opaque (clouded over eyes) when it behaved aggressively? My snakes will get that way when their eyes are clouded up. They can't see, they're scared, they're dedfending themselves from a percieved threat.
