Probably a weird Q...

[BrianB801]

I see a lot of people askin for help to decide if/why their BP is showing signs that it doesn't want to be handled... Mine is the opposite. Do they typically show signs of WANTING to be handled? Lol Clyde stays in his hide whenever it's quiet but as soon as he hears commotion or anyone talking in the room he instantly comes out to investigate an crawls all over his cage. An after i do handle him he doesn't go straight to his hide, he crawls all over an crawls up the glass as if he wants to come back out? Is this normal or is it a sign I should bring him out more, I'm just kinda nervous to bring him out more cause I don't want him to get stressed...

It's not every ball python that acts like that, but quite a few big snakes end up so docile that they can't wait to get out and held.

We have a few like that...these 2 in particular

Ha okay, so I'd be fine with bringing him out for longer handling periods? I usually bring him out for 30-45 minutes every day except during shed or after eating of course lol an yer snakes look awesome btw!

I have a little BP girl that begs to come out. She will be in her hide and after about a min in the room, she will at the front of the tub wanting out.

LOL, yeah it's all in the timing!!



OP: 30 to 45 minutes out is probably long enough for most of them
