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.

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.
