My corn snake bit me last night as I went to get him out, this has never happened before. I felt his teeth but didn't brake the skin. But today as soon as anyone goes close to his Viv (including my 9 month old) he starts striking at the glass and is literally headbutting it. He's not long had a shed and had a feed last night. He's doing it more and more. Any ideas please !!!!!!

Did you happen to smell of mouse when you went to get him out? Or could he smell the mouse at all?

He's, about 3 years old, and no I fed him about an hour after he bit me and he's still headbutting it with no smell of mice at all.

It could be the smell of his enclosure or the room his enclosures in, like youve sprayed febreeze and he cant escape a strong smell coming through the vent?
