Say "ahhh"
Otto tipped over his water dish so I was taking it out so I could fill it back up again, and he started striking at the container. I guess he was freaked out that his dish suddenly was out to get him.
I also had planned on handling him today (I made a thread about him being agressive, for those who haven't seen it), but I don't think that's going to be happening today 
Video..
Edit: Just tempted my luck and got him out, he struck at me and bit himself. :/

Re: Say "ahhh"
The photos are funny
The video is sad though- must hurt to strike that water dish repeatedly ...

Re: Say "ahhh"
Luckily the water dish is really thin flexible plastic, I really hope he can calm down quickly.

Re: Say "ahhh"
He might tame down a bit more if you put him in a front-opening enclosure rather than reaching for him from the top. Sometimes snakes freak out when they're reached from on top because it gives them an instinctual reaction of a predator (bird, etc) coming down to get them. Some snakes work MUCH better if approached from the same level.

Re: Say "ahhh"
oh that's true. Our carpet python hated anything "over" her. She's still not too keen on it, but she knows the routine now and has calmed down.
