So I have 3 ball pythons, all aged around 6-7 months, males. Hot side temperature 88-90, cool side 80-82, humidity between 70-85% (I live in a humid area). Sheds are all good.

All eat like pigs, literally never refuse meals. Active at night, friendly when handling.

One of them though has been an anxious one from the start. He's come a LONG way with the handling (I used to have to use a hook), but now I can pick him up and he's very sweet when handling.

However- and this was a problem before too- when I stick my hand in his cage to spot clean and change water, he strikes at me. He STILL does this!

Should I accept that he's an anxious one? The other 2 snakes continue sleeping and don't give 2 craps when I do stuff in their cages. This one though will wake up and stare at me from his hide. It's been like this since day 1.
