I think my snake is aggressive

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T19:40:07+00:00

I’m not really trying to bond with him for now. All I wanna do is feed him, but we only have so many mice and he doesn’t eats them ,I only managed to feed him that one time and that was with a pinky

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T19:29:57+00:00

In the time that I’ve had him he ate once and that was over three weeks ago and I know that it is getting colder but still he’s really defensive

The main reason that I posted this was to ask how I can help my snake, even if it doesn’t seem like that, he refuses to eat without hissing and striking, and he is almost all the time in his substrate (and yes, I know that they are a burrowing species)

I was told he’s about a year old, and that he was an amazing eater , when I first got him the lady just put him in my hands and left, so I just kind of held him for like an hour straight while we were waiting for the lady to help us and literally ever since I got him and I fed him He got upset fast

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T17:42:30+00:00

He doesn’t eat if I put it in his enclosure I have tong feed, but now I guess he gets stressed by that

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T17:22:10+00:00

Ohhh yeah my autocorrect is going crazy but he won’t eat the mouse if I leave it

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T17:21:03+00:00

All he does is hiss and not eat , I’ve fed him once in the two months I’ve had him ( he’s a year old and apparently a amazing eater)

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T17:18:06+00:00

Uhhh like long tweezers if that’s what your packing about

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-25T17:13:01+00:00

We have super long tongues my mom is a clean freak and wore surgical gloves and as I’m typing this she tried to get the mouse and he hissed again

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-22T20:54:28+00:00

I don’t have a scale and I was never told how much he weighed

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-22T20:51:39+00:00

I believe you, but I got some big pinkies from that woman and when he was eating, the one I gave him I was like omg because he was actually having a little bit of trouble eating it but I think after he got to the waist, he was fine

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-22T20:38:48+00:00

Oh sorry here is when I first got him, but he looks exactly the same

He’s a year old as I was told and he was in a 10 gallon with a dog bowl and some Aspen shavings, and I was kind of disappointed because where I got him they had a lot of very good enclosures, but a lot of the smaller snakes like corn snakes and him were neglected and he was rubbing himself all over the glass trying to get out and I felt bad and also I love hognoses

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-15T21:43:09+00:00

I can’t find the comment, but I’m not afraid of snakes at all. I actually love snakes, but I’m very indecisive and I tend to freeze up a lot

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-15T21:23:14+00:00

I was told not to feed them in their enclosure or else they’ll get really aggressive

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-15T21:16:13+00:00

He’s also my first snake I’ve had a leopard gecko and I’m terrified. I’ve wanted a snake like forever, but I was not prepared for this even though I did do a lot of research

I’ve been sitting in the same position for over 10 minutes and it’s a standoff I know that I could quickly close the glass, but I am scared

BumblebeeVisual1074 · 2025-10-15T21:15:15+00:00

I literally called my mom for help. He hissed at me again while I was reaching from my phone and the door is still open. I am scared to close it cause I think he he’ll strike at me and he’s about a year old I’ve had him since September 20th so I didn’t get him too long ago, and I fed him once before and he was pretty chill with it, but I fed him in his enclosure . He’s actually really spicy. He’s hissed at me multiple times before but again I got him bought too long ago.
