Yesterday i planned to take him out of his tank to clean it, but he was in a striking pose, so I figured he was still hungry (I fed him the day before yesterday) so I warmed him up another rat and gave it to him yesterday and he ate it. I came to check on him today to see if he has calmed down so I can clean his tank but he’s still in a striking position and I’m scared to reach my hand and because I don’t want him to strike at me. What can I do?

EDIT: The picture doesnt do a good job of showing how he was super ready to strike earlier.
I now know to not feed him twice in a row like that (this is the only time ive done it) I didnt know he would still act hungry even if he just ate and didnt need more food.
I got a snake hook a while ago but hes too heavy and i dont want to hurt him. I know their bites don’t do much damage, but it still is scary and very startling to me.
Also thank you to the people who were kind and gave me good advice.

It says it is ofc but the free shipping combined with low-ish price has me suspicious. Has anyone who has bought from here confirm they arent a scam?
