    Why is my snake so shy?
    hey guys, just adopted my second ball python last night, i've had my old one, Zeuse for 4 months now and he eats like a pig and isnt shy at all.

    this new one, Athena is over a year and more than twice zeuse's size, but every time i go to pick her up she jerks back in fear, she not mean but gets frightened so easy...she is a nice snake none the less, i wonder if she was abused in her past home?

    You have really shy ones, and really confident ones, and those in between. They come in all personalities, just like we do. :)

    The more of these animals you deal with you'll come to understand that they have their own personality's. Some are curious some are shy some are fearful some couldn't care less :D
