Hello fellow ball python owners. My female BP is about a year and a half old and very healthy. However, the last couple of times I've brought her out of the tank for feeding time, she strikes before I get her into the separate feeding tank. She even bit me recently. Although she immediately let go, she has me a little concerned because I've never seen a ball python behave this way. I figured I needed to handle her more so I made sure I took her out to handle her more than just at feeding time. Each time I took her out she was fine. Today, I take her out to feed her and she strikes mid air while hanging from the snake hook. Before anyone asks, I will tell you how often and what I feed her. I feed her two mice, once a week. I also am able to handle her immediately after eating and I always wash my hands before handling her. Why does she continue to strike midair and is there anything I can do to curb this behavior? It's startling and not something I want her to continue to do once she's bigger. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
