Hi
So I've had my ball python for about a month now. I only handle her for maybe 10 minutes a day sometimes she's out of her enclosure for more just because she pees a lot so I need to clean it. The first 3 weeks I've had her she has been the friendliest snake I've ever seen. She wouldn't strike just would be a little bit scared if any quick motions went in front of her. Now she's turned for the worst and is pretty aggressive and mean. Once I actually get her out of her enclosure she's fine and just explores, doesn't try to bite or anything. But when she's in her enclosure, it's gotten so bad to where if i put my hand in front of the glass she strikes at it. This is even after I give the glass a little tap so she knows I'm there so I don't startle her. It's super hard to pick her up because she sits there and tries to strike me whenever I get close. I always have to pick her up from behind just to handle her. I wanna leave her be for a week or so just to see if she'll snap out of it, but how can I not handle her at all when I have to do routine maintence in her enclosure? She's also acting super funny now. She doesn't sit inside either of her hides, not on the basking side, nor the cold side. I have one on each side. She was sitting on the cold side for some reason all day which is about 80 degrees. I have no idea why but she was just sitting outside of her hide over there and when I actually got to pick her up she felt cold. The temps are correct I have 80 on the cool side, 90 on the hot side for her basking spot, and I have fresh water in there at all times. The humidity stays at 50% and I don't see any signs of an RI or anything like that. If she had mites could that stress her out? I don't see signs of any but could that be a possibility? No matter where she is she doesn't use the hides I've provided for her. She used to for the first 3 weeks but now she's showing signs of a pretty mean snakeany help is appreciated!
