Hissing when feeding??
So we went to feed Hannibal today, and she didn't seem interested, not only that, she was hissing, alot... She has never hissed, and I am trying to figure out what that means. Any input?

Maybe she is getting ready to go into shed... Check your temps and if they are fine I would just leave her be and watch out for shed soon.

Re: Hissing when feeding??
I have a hognose and she hisses every time you get near her cage.. Its kindda funny, then she shuts up as soon as you take her out. I have a boa that has never bit me or struck but only hissed at me once... I went in to get him and he hissed so I left him alone, came back the next day and noticed he had gone to the bathroom so needless to say i interrupted him when he was doing his business and sometimes that's the only quite time us men get so i can completely understand his annoyance.

Re: Hissing when feeding??
Ok, well we took the rat away and handled her a little bit (feed her in a separate container) and put her up. She seems fine and yes, she shed about 1.5 weeks ago roughly, I would have to check the calendar though to be sure.

Re: Hissing when feeding??
Every snake has its off days when they just want to be left alone.. If my brb or boa's want to be left alone they do a little jerk/shrug when I touch them. I take this as "sod off, I'm chilling" and leave them be. I've had my baby bci hiss at me and my god she's loud for a small snake
