Baby Burmese help

So I have had this baby Burmese Pyton for about a month. He has always been very nice and never bit anyone. Today was feeding day. And after I fed him he has been very aggressive. He bit me twice, and another snake. And advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Is he hungry? What/how much are you feeding him?

I feed him one rat every 2 weeks. It's the same every time. The only thing different was I soaked him in the bath tub about 30 minutes after he ate. I don't normally do that. So soon after he eats and that was wen he attacked one of my ball pythons and then he bit me and then my friend. (it didnt feel to good)

After he eats don't handle him for the rest of day. He is still alert and looking for food and that's why he bit you.

I am aware if this, but even after I put him back in his tank he was striking at me through the glass everyone I walked by. I'll see how he is tomorrow.

Some are just more aggressive eaters then others. He was probably still in "feeding mode" and striking at anything that moved.

Plus you should probably feed him more. I feed twice a week

Really twice a week? I might try once a week and go from there. I'm trying to keep him from becoming a 20 foot giant in 3 years.

Feeding twice a week as a baby won't make him a 20ft giant. There are a lot more variables than that. As he moves up to larger prey then you can start spacing his meals out into every 2-3 weeks. But you don't want an underweight or an unhealthy snake.
