cage defensive?! help please.
Hi,
I've had my spotted python for around 6months, he is a 4yr old, 5ft, beautiful temperament once out of Enclosure.
I had him for about 4 months in a large tub. And he was nice friendly, would come out happily on his own, or you could legitimately just put your hand in and pick him up. He never even struck at me.
But 2 months ago, I put him in a actual enclosure, which is the correct size(though can't actually remember what the size is), he temp is fine, he is eating, shedding, all good. But as soon as anyone goes near the tank, he S-bends at them. He Strikes the glass, the hook, water bottle, etc..
Once out he is happy and pleasant.
Is there anything I can do to calm him down?
Is it possible the reaction could be because he might have been tubbed he's whole life?
Any information on cage defensive Pythons would be much appreciated. I've tried googling. Not very helpful. Thank you.
