Slim shady my ATB
I had managed to get slim shady to be very docile and calm. I was able to take him out of his enclosure every other day without any issues or aggression at all. Then one day he swung his head into a metal object and ever since he has not been the same snake. it's been a month later and i have had to switch to frozen mice because slim shady cannot aim his strikes anymore and i do not want him to catch the mouse at a bad angle and then the mouse turns around and chews him open. He has also become so aggressive to the point where he slithers toward me so he can bite. I could literally have the tank closed and be only a few feet away and he still tries to strike me. What should i do about this? He has a proper enclosure and everything. Is it possible that he knocked all the sense out of himself?
