Well size of the snake determines what size of prey item the snake should be eating. Which in this case could be the reason for the aggression the snake is showing.

I've noticed with my Cali at this time of year he gets very active and will investigate everything that moves and will make the occasional strike and also bite and hold for a good while. This behaviour usually ends around july time. Not sure why the change in behaviour, maybe its seasonal or because he's horny as a toad. On the other hand my MBK remains chilled out all year.

Heres a pic of a bite from a few weeks back



very little damage done

Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold pint– and another one!

Asked "him"...... Hmmmmm im a girl........ snake is a him.....is that why he is tempermental (typo) Only joking mate

this is very interesting and I have seen adult kings turn nasty, particularly males. they become very fiesty and defnesive, the onyl reason I can think of is they hit sexual maturity and have a desire to mate - i hear it occasionally happens with corn snakes also
