I am a new owner of a ball python, and did research saying these gorgeous things are docile and dont usually bite. i had to pick her up the first night to put in her water dish, and i got a bite. i'm a bit afraid to pick her up now althopugh it didnt hurt. lol i was gonna let her chill for a while of course, so i'm wondering if anyone thinks the behaviour will change... i here they rarely bite... i have had corn snakes in the past and have never recieved a bite..
