So my baby ball is abit nippy, got him about 2 weeks ago and he weighs 78g at time of writing. Since I'm a newb at handling snakes, I been looking around for some tips and stuff and stumbled on a good video:

So I just handled him, and did what the video says in that I 'dominated' him. He was a little nippy at first, then I did the cupping thing and he balled up and stuff, but then after a few minutes he'd come out of the ball and 's' up, he wouldnt strike at me but he seemed on edge all the time .. he'd start to get a bit nippy again so I'd just cup him and he'd ball up again. Just wanted to know, am I doing the right thing in following this guys advice and 'dominating' him, and if so, should I do this everytime I handle him?
