Why has my Woma turned cranky?

[Silver]

Hi all, I have had my Woma for about a month, has always been really docile. In the last week, we have moved him (18 mth old) into a bigger home. Friday I picked him up, he bit and 'death rolled' around my hand. Tonight he bit me as I was getting him out of the tank, and did the 'death roll' thing again. Anyone got any ideas why he has started doing this? I feed him Saturday night.:?

he is probably just being cage defensive as you have put him into new surroundings. same thing happened with my diamond when i moved her into her enclosure from her click clak. she calmed down after about 2 weeks. just keep handling every day, im sure he will settle down again.

Are you feeding it enough?

im thinking that too , i have found if a snake is cage defensive it will strike and tag as a warrning. but a hungry snake will bite- hold and coil/death roll.

I feed him two rats on Saturday. He is about 80 cm long. Should I be feeding him more?

I just picked him up, got him out with a gloved hand, and he was fine.
