A few months ago we got a
Black Headed Python from a friend of ours who moved overseas. Not sure of her age but she's approx 4ft long and apparently female.
The guy who had her before us was feeding her live and not handling her much (if at all). Since we've had her we've been feeding her frozen rats and getting her out about once a week. She was handling well and would only poo when out of her enclosure and on the grass. Her last shed was about 3wks ago
Since her last shed she hides all the time and has become super aggressive. She barely ever comes out of her hide and even brings her rats into her hide to eat them. She strikes out and head butts us with any attempts to handle her. The main problem being that she still won't poo in her enclosure but we can't get her out to let her poo on the grass.
Is there any reason that she has suddenly turned so aggressive? and is there anything we can do so she will poo without the stimulation of grass?
At the moment she's fed a large rat every 2wks or so. Currently she has no heat on the enclosure as she's in Darwin so her temps are always around 30, except at night. I've been told she's probably just hungry and needs feeding more (ie: every week instead of fortnight)?
