Sounds like they are hungry. Start feeding them.

i do feed them extra large rat eva 2 or 3 weeks even couple days later after the feed there still lik that yea not good and doesnt tickle its bites its no hatchie bite

 

[Allies_snakes]

yes i agree with waruikazi...give them a nice big feed and they should settle. My girl gets antsy at the glass but i doubt she would ever know how to strike or bite..lovely and placid, but when she gets hungry she is keen and ready bobbing at the glass like a dog begging to be fed.

as i said there still lik that after a feed im just hoping that its the heat cos it s been hot in the room and all the snakes r moving lik crazy but its only this pair thats been lik this

it neva happen last yr

As they grow they will need more food, so maybe there ARE still hungry. Try feeding weekly for awhile and see if that helps

 

[brenttin]

yea ill try that

Two of my girls are doing that and they are 10 feet its like they want to mate again

I have a coastal and a darwin....they are normally placid but every now and then they just get a bit aggro...it is normally a couple of days after a feed and then they settle down.

2-3 weeks may be a bit long between feeds...Probably a good average is 10 days...but as was mentioned try weekly for a little while and perhaps increase to the next size rat.

Alll ours are very hungry at the moment.
I would say they are hungry and maturing!
