I gotta ask for the story. My girl climbs my hair/glasses alot and husband thinks she'll bite my face sometime.

The ones at work snap at me occasionally and I've been tagged by the two girls at home. Got one occurrence on video ;)

1.2 Normal
1.1 Red-tail
0.1 Albino corn

My pastel is funny about food. Sometimes she strikes sometimes she doesn't eat, but what's weird is when she slowly opens her mouth and bites the food. One time while feeding she didn't even go for the food and just slowly bit my finger.

I've had my current BP for 7 months and have not even been hissed at. He is very mellow (always was) and I can do whatever I want to him and he doesn't really do anything and just lets me lol. I've had normals, pastels, mojos, lessers, and ghosts years back and never was bit by them, one or two just hissed here and there if I spooked them. I have been bit my corns, kings, milks, and a boa before. My ball pythons have been the "most tame" thus far :snake:

Well mine struck at me for the first time last night. I think it was my fault though as it was feeding time and I placed the rat in his tank and then went to open the lid a little wider and when my hand went back in the tank a bit he lunged for it so I chalk it up to my hand moving and smelling like a rat or at least I hope so....

When I worked at a pet store we got a very scared baby ball python. This little guy would strike at anything moved by the enclosure so we started covering it up during the day to give him some peace and quiet. With a little gentle handling here and there he slowly warmed up to us and we were able to hand tame him. I've never met an aggressive ball python. I find they're either scared or just irritable because they're being bothered. I never write any animal off as "aggressive" until I have all of the facts about them and have ruled out any outside factors.

I have been striked at but never bitten and the strikes were on feeding day.

Same .

I'm convinced that Albino Royals have impaired vision judging by their accuracy in striking at DEAD rodents...

Nope

Only once and that was my own stupidity... put my hand in there smelling like the rat I was thawing out... never made that mistake again!
