Re: I got a new 3 year old ball python and he keeps striking at me through his tank
We also have a couple that are major hissers. Both have always hissed whenever you bother them at all. Funny enough neither has ever bothered to do more than a lazy sort of closed mouth jab and that's rare. They both just like to complain a lot I think LOL. We're just used to them and quite honestly most of the time we totally ignore their hisses and just go about our business. Other snakes we have, if they hissed we'd pay a lot more attention but this particular pair are all hiss and not much else. :)
Of course since I've posted this I'm pretty much gonna get bit by one of them in about ten minutes....right? LOL
