I just fed my baby cal king 2 fluffs, and once he had swallowed the 2nd one he became quite aggressive, snapping at the sides of the see through tub as I picked it up etc. Ive heard that cal kings are pretty snappy anyways, so is this just normal behavior after feeding?

Yep..when they're still in the feeding mode they're likely to snap at anything that moves within reach.
