striking after eating

i feed my corn male and he stiked at me several times why does he only do that after feeding is it normal

This is a feeding response. When snakes feed they get into kind of a feeding frenzy and striking at you after he eats is normal for a snake with a healthy appetite. Feed your snake and leave it alone for a few days to digest and calm down.

ok but it only happens with my male and it goes away in like 30 min.

Yeah... that's great, but the answer's still the same:

You're lucky it's ONLY your male and that it goes away in a short time... I hope, for your sake, that you either learn not to disturb your snakes after they eat, or never acquire snakes larger than the corns it appears you have now. Snakes don't know any better... they don't "love you", they don't "hate you". Heck, when their in "feeding mode" they no idea who or what you are... the only thing they know when they are in feeding mode is "strike at anything that looks like food... or smells like food... or moves."

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Leave your snakes ALONE after they've eaten.
