Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My billsnake is suddenly all pissed off.
I've had a captive bred Stillwater Bullsnake for about a year now. When I got him he was about 2.5 ft long and now he is 5 ft long. I never had any problem holding him. I even did a talk on snakes with him and other people were able to hold him without any problem. Now he is hissing when I try and pick him up. He doesn't bite, but he wasn't even hissing before. He is eating fine and isn't sick. Has anyone else had this happen where their Bullsnake was friendly and suddenly became more aggressive? My bedroom is 78-80 because it is so hot out. Is it possible that is what is going on? Or are there any other possibilities? I keep him with two Rosy Boas but he has always been in the same cage as them.

If I was being forced to cohabitate with two other folks I didn't want to cohabitate with, I'd be pissed off too.
Food for thought....

I put the Rosy Boas in a separate cage for now to see if it makes a difference. The Bullsnake is even hissing now but it still lets me pick it up.

Separate all the snakes into their own enclosures.
Bullsnakes do hiss. Its just how they are. Make sure your hot and cool spots are in the appropriate ranges, and reduce the stress on the animal by leaving him/her alone for awhile.

I think I figured out that the reason my Bullsnake was getting so ornery is because he didn't like how hot it was getting. My bedroom gets up to 84 degrees in the summer. In a month it will cool off a lot.

Did you ever separate these animals? Snakes can, and do eat eachother, and its very possible this animal is stressed out. Not hard to do with bulls.

Separate them into, each, their own enclosures too. Your snakes will thank you, and you will have healthier snakes because of it. 
Make sure all your humidty/temps are correct, and just leave the bull be for a week. Change the water as need be, but otherwise, just see if he calms down a bit.
Sometimes they dont. Its just bullsnakes nature to be hissy, and big bluffers.

i have several bulls. One does a bit of hissing half the time but always hissing and retreating. Never a strike. Such a big bluffer.Once picked up, very cool. They all have a tendency for the cooler side of the cage (all are housed separately) most of the time, even when I feel chilly in the evening.
