    Behavioral differences?

    so i've had my new spider for a month now, and i have to say, he is COMPLETELY different from my normal female.
    While she strikes at people on a regular basis (has since I got her last year), he doesn't seem to fear anything or really care about anyone handling him. At all. I just find it almost strange at the polar opposites of these two. If he wasn't such a healthy eater I would almost think he was sick because of his general lack of concern about everything. Even when I take him out he literally just lays next to me or on me for over an hour and doesn't really move much besides his head. He's never shown any aggressive body behavior at all, and tolerates handling better then any reptile I've ever had. You can even touch around his face and head and he doesn't even flinch.

    Does anyone else notice an drastic differences between their reptiles, or any extreme behaviors? I've never had a snake act so nonchalant about being handling, I don't even know if thats normal. How friendly are yours?

    I used to have two leopard geckos before my ex left me. Sobe was 12 years old and a QUEEN, and Babytooth was only a hatchling and the biggest goober of a lizard I've ever seen. It was hilarious to look at them next to each other on their shelf, one the very picture of dignity and the other tripping over his own feet in excitement to swim in his water dish.

    Most of my ball pythons are friendly. Except for my female bumblebee. She's a cow, and likes to put on a show and hiss when you try to move her.

    Re: Behavioral differences?

    I have several juvenile Ball Pythons and three adults. A couple of the juveniles can be feisty at times, but I’ve noticed all seem to have their own personalities when it comes to being handled, fed, disturbed etc. I guess they are all individuals like us.
