very strange behavior... need help
Okay, so i wont lie 1st off, its been over a month since i have held or fed any of my snakes... with my wedding, honeymoon, moving, unpacking and all of that i just haven't had time, well everything is finally over, and im getting back into swing of things...
Monday, went to take my BRB out for some handling, and she was like acting weird... pushing me back away with her tail... its hard to explain, but usually she just crawls away and i pick her up, not a problem.. well this time she was acting like she didnt want me to touch her so i took the hint and put her away... i thought well its been a month and a week since she ate, so im prolly getting a feeding responce... so....
Wednesday, i fed all snakes, my BRB ate a small f/t rat... took it right away!!! left her alone for wed. and most of today ( i got up at 7am) just about 20 min. agao 1:35 ohio time, i tried to get her out again... well she did the same weird acting tail thrusting and she crawled away.. i went to pick her up and this is were it gets freaky....
i grabbed her lower 1/3 like i always do, and she wrapped around my hand, TIGHT!! i thought huh okay??? i just sat there for about 10 min. then she came at my hand like it was a f/t rat ... she was nudging my hand like she does her rats... so i knew she was going to bite, and i grabbed her (gentellay) behind the head and i got her in mid strike. she did bite my other hand, but i had a glove on...
what the hell?!?!? i am assuming that this is all just a feeding response. she is the girth of a bratwurst, or a smoked sausage.. is this a feeding response? or something else?
temp and humidity is EXACTLY THE SAME nothing in her tub has changed..
please help me out here...
