omg...he hissed at me...lol

[sekans]

Ok so ive had my snake for 2 weeks and yesterday was his first day he ever hissed aggressively. He really didnt feel like being handled but i refuse to lose. I read that if u take a bath towel and cover him they usually calm down. So i covered him and started gently rubbing him and he stopped hissing. Once i picked him up every thing was normal for about 2 minutes and then i notice that he wasnt doing what he usually do which is stretch out flickering is tongue getting and feel for his enviroment, instead he went into the striking position and gave me the dead man stare. Usually i handle him for 30 minutes to a hour with no problems but this time i felt as if i should respect the fact that he was stressed so i put him back in the tank after about five minutes. I think ot was the kids cuz they was yelling at each other as i went to get him out. Hopefully tomorrow he has a different attitude.
