Snake acting strange

[dudesteve151]

Hi I have a 8 1/2 foot long tai beauty snake, she is normaly timid but comes out during the summer alot. I feed her every two weeks a large rat and she has a healthy size to her. I just fed her last about 4 days ago and she has been snapping at movement in front of her face. Now unfortunatly I have not held her in awhile and I dont always have the time to take her out. Is it because of lack of human interaction or food?

i only handle my carpet pythons when its 100% necessary

they all have their own personality's,the biters remain biters and the placid remain placid,regardless of their handling schedules

cheers shaun

Pretty much what Shaun said.

I had a corn snake that was very placid. I didn't handle it for a while and it became very strikey and cage defensive. It was a good eater either way.

Yea I picked her up last night and she was thing which was very odd because not even a week ago she was very gurthy so i fed her and shes happy lol

The bitey, more wild snakes make for better breeders....let them be snakes and they'll produce more......

[dudesteve151]

I don't breed but thanks anyway

So....If you want a snake you can parade around and hold then a beauty snake is not a great choice......In my opinion.....They are rat racers.......

Like I said she is really tame and is normally chill or nervouse not bittey, shes a good snake.
