Ive move about three months ago into a new house and since ive been here ive had a problem with my male ball python, he seems to strike my wife whenever she takes him out. my wife always washes her hands but always seems to get bit....now i live around alot of crop fields and ive noticed i have alot of rats running around outside in the yard, he is placed by the window could him being by the window be a problem? could he sense rats all the time and be in prey drive continously?
