Hey guys I need some help! I have a baby ball python that I got a few months ago that seems to be very defensive. Everytime I try to handle him he is always in striking position and tries to bite me often. I saw a video on YouTube by Justin Kobylka on how to tame ball pythons. Have you guys tried this method and is it successful?

Also, this is my first time dealing with a mean snake. He has bitten me a few times and I know it doesn't hurt that bad but I still am a little scared of getting bit.

Thanks
