[max9781]

Hey i have a bp and i have had him for about a year now
Im not able to handl him as much so i handle him like every other day or every 3 days
He has been following my hand like a rat lattley and bit me will i was taking him out of his tank. I feed him in a seperate tub and use tongs not my hand. Will grow up to be agressive what should i do.

How often are you feeding him? It should be once every 5-7 days. Have you changed anything about his tank that would make him feel insecure?

It could be that he is just one of the testy ones. If he is only biting quick and releasing then all you can do is just keep handling him and he will most probably calm down and stop doing it. Very few ball pythons remain aggressive throughout their whole life if they are handled enough and cared for correctly
