It’s been a little over a month owning my ball python. So far so good. He’s been eating regularly each week. I’ve handled him only twice so far. Just tried to get him eating regularly before handling him. The first time I handled him was only for under 10 minutes. He’s super calm and chill. Hasn’t been defensive yet. He’s pretty relaxed as well. Today I got him out for a little longer. Maybe 15-20 minutes. The family wanted to check him out. I watched his reactions and he was a little shy for a few minutes and then opened up. While my mom was holding him I think she may have mad a quick reaction and he also made a quick reaction. So I took the snake off of her and I noticed he was getting super tense on my hand so Immediately put him back in his enclosure. No harm done though. Something with her moving quick I think scared him. Which I told her not to do! But anyways... do you guys have any tips on getting your snake comfortable with handling? Or how long it takes?
