    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 :)
