    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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
 
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)
 
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.
 
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.
 
Ya get that, and I was kind of exaggerating when I said 20ft. Thank you everybody for your input.
