Thank you so much for all of your replies to my last thread regarding how secure the cage clips are.

I bought a female baby ball python last Tuesday and she is roughly about a month old. She is housed in a 10 gallon aquarium (it is secure) with aspen bedding, a cave for a hide, jacuzzi water dish and reptile rock for climbing.

I have tried taking her out a few times, just for a couple minutes at a time so she can get used to me. Her temperment is good so far, as she is very curious about her surroundings and doesn't seem scared when in her home.

However, when I take her out, she becomes terrified. What is the best way to get her acclimated to me? Should I continue to take her out every few days for a minute or two?

Also, the man I bought her from said she is normally fed pinkies on Wednesdays, so she has not eaten in over a week. I was trying to give her a few days to adjust before feeding. Should I go ahead and try to feed her?

Thanks
