stupid question about Albino Ball
I just got a male albino ball 3 or 4 months old weight 110 grams when I open his tank to take him out he sometimes balls his head like he will strike or tries to strike. Been tagged once no big deal but after a min or so in hand he is fine and relaxed and slide around fingers and arm and hands, will this striking out go away over time? Again he is only 3 or 4 months old and so far most beautiful snake to date. I just want to make him the calmest out of my snakes. I been having him about for about 5 mins at a time should I make the time longer. If he tries or does strike at me I feel I have to take him out and have him calm down on my hand so he does not get in to a pattern of striking and I let him go. Maybe I am wrong please advise I just want to make sure I am doing right thing:)
Re: stupid question about Albino Ball
It's probably just the baby biter phase, though you won't truly know till he gets older. I've got a new bino who tried to get me a couple times the first week I got him, but he's good now that he's settled in and such. Just make sure than when you reach in to grab the little fella that you're not moving too fast or just grabbing him abruptly, because that can be the cause of a defensive tag at any age.
