Help guys!
My 2 year old (3 in Jan) male Python has become somewhat snappy towards me. He went off food for 6 months over winter and had begun feeding again. When he started again in August I was feeding him a size smaller because I thought maybe after so long that would be a better idea but I believe that's where I've gone wrong. He's now had three feeds of his usual large size mice but seems to be in a constant mode of angry. As soon as I open the door to his enclosure he comes out in strike position, snapping at me and anyone who's around. I can't even change his water or pick up his poos at this point. Will this behaviour end as he eats more or am I stuck with an aggressive snake from now on? It's disheartening as he's always been quite a placid little guy.
Thoughts are very welcome
