I picked up my last pair of balls to complete my collection. The female is very aggressive and will try to bite any time she is picked up. I knew this before I got her as the owner was very honest about it. She is gorgeous and I have experience dealing with large aggressive Burmese and reticulated pythons so it was not a big deal for me. I have been successful taming other aggressive snakes down so I plan to take the same approach with this one. I am positive she has figured out that if I bite human goes away so my hope is to break that thought process for her.
She is an adult and I have never seen a ball this aggressive. Has anyone else had experience with an aggressive adult ball python and where you able to tame it?
