Question about Ted tail boa

Hey y'all. I have a 28 yr old boa who has been biting me recently. I take him out in my yard 99% of the time he is a good boy. Does
Anyone know if they get more aggressive with age?

Welcome to sSNAKESs!! 28yr old boa? Makes me think of the phrase "crotchety old fart", and senility, and can't see well, etc.

Old age in humans brings on many changes in human psyche, but I don't know if snakes are susceptible as well...but I would think it might be possible.

No they don't get more agressive with age. Sometimes if they are in breeding mode they can show agression...especially the boys...maybe that's what's happening? It's hard to know.

I'm not sure what's causing the change in behavior but I'd love to see a picture of a 28 y/o boa. There's nothing like long lived mature animals. How long have you had him?
