bites

[montythepython]

Hi guys
I have bit of a problems thats just started to happen over the last few weeks. i have a two year old ccp who has started to bite after being fed. I put him in a plastic tub and dangle the rat a bit he strikes and eats it. Then when i pick him up to put him back in his viv i get bitten. I used a hook but he is too long and i have to put my hands on him. I used gloves this week and he still has a nibble. This never happened before he would feed with his tail still wrapped around my wrist. Any ideas please.

he is still in food hunting mode, or he is still hungry what size is he in foot and what u feeding him???
this can be pretty common!!

No idea why he would start doing this now, but how big is the tub? Can you not put the tub in the viv and let him get out himself? Maybe it's just because he's eaten and as he must be on larger prey now, it might agetate him slightly to be picked up after.

some of mine do it, still in feeding mode and will strike at anything that moves

just means he is still in feeding mode, probably need to up the size of his prey if you havent already?

may be a case that what he is being fed no longer satisfys him?
