He's been a bit of a feisty one the past week or so, and this is the first time he's done anything that I could feel, he's 'tasted' me before but that didn't even break the skin, this time he was a little blighter.
I have no idea why he's been doing that, but in the past 3-4 days he has gone for every bit of bare flesh possible.
I decided to give him some grub early, just in case he was overly peckish.

That has been considered, but I got him at nearly the same time last year and he wasn't like this then. I would've expected him to be like this last year especially seeing as he had traveled 120 miles in the footwell of my car, then gone into a new viv.
I have a feeling that my females corns are in season so to speak, he escaped at this time last year because he was trying to get to the girls, i wonder if it's the same thing setting him off this time. |

| My thought would be time of year or perhaps a larger food size is now needed? |

He's on mediums/large depending on the size of the food items that the shop has because sometimes the large ones can be quite small and vice versa.
I know he can take a jumbo mouse, but the problems he has pooing afterwards are daft.
I am one of the lucky ones to have 2 rescue kings, both with tail damage of some kind, Trio had quite severe burns and partially digested tail which has left him with little muscle ability at his vent so sometimes he has real difficulty passing the waste.
He's been like this for a short while, I shall monitor for the next week or 2 as it is just more likely that he is just going through horny times a bit later than my other snakes.

Has he been in brumation at all? Was he feeding okay over the brumation period (if he wasn't in brumation) Hopefully once we hit May/June time he would of calmed down. Do you know anybody who has a female Cali, just save your fingers?

He had a short period over the winter where he didn't eat, 6 weeks to be more exact, but wasn't brumated.
As much as I'd love to give him to a lady for a short while I can't take that risk. Like I said, his muscle damage on his tail including the vent and for about another 3 inches towards his head is to much, he may end up doing the job then not being able to retract the hemipene properly.
He's a good lad really, my my hands are a small price to pay.  |

When you mention him escaping last year, was that the time you and Trio got a mention on the BBC News website?

That was indeed Janos, yes.
He's a superb escape artist. |

Trio let me get him out the other day without trying to bite me, so I'm assuming he's back to his normal chilled out self.
There was no quick head movements or coiling ready to bite, so his asbo period seems to have passed. |
