Hi all, I am new to this forum so thanks for you patience. I just purchased my first ball python last week. From the time I got him home, he seems super docile. Not jumpy when I took him out...he hung out in my hands no problem...although I realize he should have some no-contact time for awhile, I took him out of his habitat after a few days. He just sits in my hands or on my lap...his movement is minimal (usually just wraps around a couple of fingers and sits there). Not jumpy when I take him out of the habitat.
I fed him for the first time today and he ate.
I am wondering if he is okay because he seems much more calm than I had expected. My other snake (a corn) was very jumpy and fast for the first several months (still cant take him far from the tank b/c he's a fast lil sucker).
Is this normal?
