I just got my first ball python, I've had him for a little over 2 weeks. I let him chill for the first week I got him, after that week I held him briefly maybe 5 minutes then about an hour later and offered him a Hooper and he ate it great. The next week I handled him a few times for 10 minutes at a time. Fed him again on friday and he ate great again. (Pre-killed fresh both times) Any way to my questions now, just wanted to give a little detail. Thursday night the night before I fed him last I handled him for a bit with my girlfriend who is trying to get over the fear of snakes. He was great the whole time and slithered around the bed and me, but when my girlfriend finally mustered up the courage to hold the baby 94 gram snake I handed him to her and he pissed and urated on her. Is there any reason for this or did he just have to pee and it worked itself out from being handled. Also once and a while he tries climbing up the sides of the glass trying to escape, is he just a sneaky bastard (wont/will not get out) or is he stressed? Sorry for the rant, I'd appreciate any feedback.
