    Question.
    Just curious. Does lack of handeling a snake make it aggresive?

    I havn't taken my BP out in about over a month but I have been feeding changeing water and maintaining his tank as needed. Just wondering if he will become aggresive if I decide to take him out.

    Re: Question.
    Nah....should be fine. I only handle mine during cleaning. Very rarely do I handle them otherwise. I never "play" with them. And they're all just as laid back as you'd expect a ball python to be.

    Except on feeding day. Don't go sticking your hand in there....or anywhere within three feet of their tubs when they open on feeding day! :P

    Depends on your definition of aggressive. Sometimes they may believe you're food, but that doesn't mean they have aggression towards you. My balls don't bite no matter how much I do or don't handle them, but my carpets have mistaken my hand for food when I forget to handle them for awhile. Seems to depend on the snake's level of feeding response.

    I woulsnt stress out about it at all. Some of mine hardly get handeling and are as gentle as ever :)
