got my snake out tonight,and he hissed at me and took 2 strikes at me. noticed his eyes look a little cloudy. he has been shedding once a month since i got him. can they get grumpy before shedding their skin.
Yes, they usually do. When their eyes are cloudy they're pretty much blind, so for all snakie knows you're a predator trying to eat him! Probably best to leave him be util he sheds.

As inkiepixie said when their eyes are cloudy their eyesight is pretty bad so it will strike out to protect itself. Always a good thing to leave them when their eyes a blue.
thanks for your replies guys. thought it was not like him. he is a year old this month and he has never been aggressive towards me yet,rattled his tail but thats all.
