Marley is today in a foul mood. He was fed Sunday early morning on 2 pinkies. Today went to have him out and he scarpered faster than I've ever seen!! I persevered and picked him up and he went for me. Didn't bite just head butted I think. He really wasn't happy so I put in back in the viv. He sat there all curled up ready to strike.... He's really not happy!! He's usually a lovely lovely snake not had him long, and he settled in really well this is first feed he has had since he's been with me. He's 6 months

Might he just need a bit more time for his food to go down? Or maybe pmt??

Yeah he had 2 pinkies and still looks a tad chunky. But I'll leave him another day I think. Not like him

He could also be coming into shed but showing no visible signs yet? Depending on his age, knowing the time of year, maybe he's horny?

Sounds like he needs a little longer to digest his meal. Could also be due for shedding. Maybe just having an off day!
