Quick Question

[Meech]

i have a second ball python now, i picked up a baby female albino and know for some reason the female hypo that i have is acting strange and a bit aggressive... there is no correlation right? Ball python females dont get aggressive when another female or baby is around do they? i never heard of this happening before..

No their behavior does not change because a new BP is in the household, it's either due to stress which can happen over time because of improper husbandry, over handling etc, or because your BP is underfed, they also get defensive aroud shedding time, without more info it's hard to pin point the cause.

Are they house together?

How big is your enclosure?

How big is the female Hypo (weight)?

What are your temps?

How often have you been handling her?

What have you been feeding her and how often?

I would agree with Deborah. Check all those things and let us know.
