If my snake is biting me.... or striking ... I think it may want to go back into its home...:taz:
Seriously: after having a snake for a long period of time I have got to know many of my babies. I have one GTP he just loves to come out and explore so happy to roam around.
So I just say watch your snake I think it will let u know. Many ball pythons are shy so if u hold them for a period of time it will feel that it’s safe and come out and look around.
