First off he a cute little guy.

As for the size 2.5 to 3 foot is the size of a new born. My yellow was 2 foot and a month old when i got him. He grew 3 foot in the first year. I bet anything you have a baby. If he is a year old and that size it could explain why he's biting so much. He may just be super hungry. Any idea how often they were feeding him? I feed all my babies once a week till they hit 6 months old the switch to once every two weeks.

I would try feeding him a small rat once every 6 to 7 days and i bet with in a month he'll start to calm down for you. Maybe even try two the first meal.

Thanks man, he could well be younger than i put him, i am only guessing. As far as in aware he changed hands a few times in quick succession before i got him so dont really have much history which would also contribute to him havin a bit of an attitude. He hasnt ate with me yet gona try him this weekend so hopefully once he gets a few feeds in him and he realises hes in a steady home he will calm down. It would be nice if he does but he has a forever home with me even if he stays a complete lunatic lol.

That's good to here. (the forever home) My Yellow started out mellow then got aggressive, but with work we come to a understanding. I move slow when handling and i never put him down. He knows how to read what i am going to do and me the same with him. I also found keeping the handling secession under 10 minutes he does ok over that is pushing it.

Anyway once he settle in and is eating good i hope he calms down for you.

yea man i have wanted a green ever since i first seen one when i was a child so i doubt il ever let him go. My yellow on tho other hand is a wee darling. She bit me the first time i picked her up before bringing her home and hasnt bit me since. I tap train her to an extent. She is usually burrowed in her bark so if im taking her out i urn a wee piece of wood to stroke the bark off her and then use it to keep the pointy end away while i lift her up. Once shes in my hand she is happy and will sit there as long as i let her. I made the mistake once of putting her in a tub while i cleaned her viv out but she came out like a lunatic trying to bite me so now if i hav to do maintenance i lift her out let her coil up on one hand and do what i have to do. Can walk about doin whatever and she will quite happily sit there. Thats why i was kinda taken aback by the green as they are ment to be the calm ones lol.sorry about the spelling and 1 big paragraph im on my phone and its making life hard lol.
