I just got a ball python from a local pet shop and they told me it is a 2013 hatchling and 2 months old... Personally I find it hard to believe a 2 mth old snake is over 30 inches long. Is this possible? Also another thing is that I am having a hard time being able to handle the snake... can anybody give me some pointers on how to tame my new friend? I am by no means scared of ball pythons due to that was our pets growing up and for some reason this one seems more aggressive to me than any I have ever seen. Any advice would be helpful and thank you for your time!
