Suddenly aggressive 
Hi everyone, I recently got a tangerine Honduran- a few days ago, to be exact. She was squirmy but allowed me to pick her up. Today though, she appears to be very feisty and cautious. In fact, when I come close, she starts striking. I’m not sure whether she’s just in a bad mood. Is there a reason why on some days they’re sometime more aggressive than on others? It’s not quite time for her feeding either... A couple more days to go... Any ideas?

would there be any reason forr her to bite you maybe she got hurt accidently? but just be cautios and slow (no sudden movements) and give her time try to teach her that your not gonna hurt her and work with her often eventually she will het used to you!

The same thing happened with my King Snake when I bought him. He was such a snice, sweet little snake in the begining. After a few days he turned into the Cujo of the snake world. And still, til this day he is quite the biter. This was 2 years ago. Some calm down, others dont. Your snake was probably just a bit scared, and didnt show aggression, but once he fot comfy at home, he got a bit mean. Just handle him a bit every week. I would suggest leaving him alone for a week or two first. Maybe he just didnt settle in yet.
