...Just kidding, but I'm having some serious struggles with my SuperFly girl.
I've had her for about 3 eeeks now and she's eaten like a champ twice during this time period. I've handled her very little because quite frankly, she is the grumpiest ball python I've ever owned! She sits in constant strike position and the moment you open her cage she's already trying to nail me. Over and over and over and over. All my other ball pythons have adjusted very calmly, none have made any attempt to be aggressive, except for her.
Granted, I know it's not "aggression" but more fear that is causing her to strike so I've done my best to let her adjust and leave her alone.
But dang I want to handle her! It's like giving a kid a birthday gift and telling them they can't open it! I'm trying to have patience but I'm not even sure I'm going about this the correct way.
How should I handle this situation? Leave her be some more? Or start handling her more to get her more relaxed/comfortable with it?
