Can you tell me why my snake is striking but not taking food?

In recent years, snakes have become a very popular pet due to their docile nature and their easy care. These characteristics make people happy with their snakes, but sometimes they become concerned when they see their snakes striking and not taking food.

Several reasons can be found behind why your snake is striking and not taking food. Below are a few of the most common.

• If the temperature of your snake's habitat is not correct, and the environment is too cold.
• When your snake becomes stressed, he or she will act in that manner.
• It is likely that if your snake is new to your home, it will strike and not take food from you.
• When you do not feed your snake according to the schedule, it will strike you and won't take food from you.
• If you feed your snake prey that is larger than the size of its mouth, then it might strike you and not take food from you.

It is important that if you want your snake not to strike you and start taking food, then you need to give them proper care, such as giving them the right temperature, humidity, and food at the proper time, and keeping them in a quiet and stress-free space.
