iv noticed since he's started eating again and been more active due to heat lamps he had been very aggressive...i wave my hand outside his cage, he come out looking curious, then *BAM* right against the glass. im in fear for my fingers! hes been off food for 5-7 weeks so im feeding him a little a day. will the food entering his system decrease aggression later on. Any ideas? im worried bout my fingers and checkers constant head banging. (he only does it when i wiggle things like my finger in front of the glass so i stopped doing it, but im still worried)

Re: checker has changed his attitude!
Don't wiggle things in front of him.
After he gets back up to cruising weight he might settle down.Steve

I have found with my radixes the only way I can break aggressive behavior is to hold them. Originally Posted by mustang

Re: checker has changed his attitude!
Might want to do that in the AM after a nice cool night. After he's fully warmed up, he might be a bit uncooperative.
Glad to hear that checker is feeling better. Just make sure he's not getting too hot.

Maybe. The mantis I had in with my snakes broke those snakes and rode them like a bronco! I could almost hear the mantis yelling "yeeehaaaw!"
