I just got a new male normal ball python yesterday (Erikson) and last night when I went to play with Freud (my Butler garter) he went nuts and spazzed out on me... He was flailing all over the cage and didn't want me near him or to touch him... It was actually freaky because he is usually very mellow... I though it might be that he was hungry because it was feeding day so I just let him be and gave him an earthworm. Then today I tried to change his water and he did the exact same thing! He went crazy on me! I though he might break his back by the way he was jerking all around! Do you think he can sense I brought home a new pet or is something else the matter? Nothing else has changed... No temperature changes, no food changes (he's still eating the same), no relocating... HELP!
