Ballpythons: which is more docile male or female?

[AH020387]

Like the title says, which is more docile male or female?

[dembonez]

ive come to the realization that the difference....is NOTHING! they are just the same but females get a little bigger

i really dont think it matters..

my normal male was calm and would sometimes snap and start striking (never got me but close).

my spider male is the calmest thing alive and always has been. he is extremely laid back. im surprised he hasnt turned vegan and sported a "give peace a chance" sticker for his tub.

my normal female is grouchy, isnt too into you reaching your hand into her tub. she has never struck at me but acts scared a lot..

my pastel female was very hissy when i first got her but is quickly changing her tune. she is nearly as mellow as my spider. In a few years they can have hippy pythons..

Depends on the snake itself, not the sex. Just hold your ball python enough so it gets used to you, then it will be a great pet!

I dont believe it has anything to do with the animal being male or female, it all depends on the individual personality of each animal

Every snake has it's own personality!
