Hey everybody! I never liked the thought of snakes before 2 months ago. I work at petco and one day, a lady came in with a regular ball python and I fell IN LOVE. So I figured I'd play with the ones we have at work. I fell in more love. I bought a BP who seemed most comfortable with me. However, now I have him at home and have had him for almost a week now and he (or she lol) seems terrified of me!? If and when he finally uncoils, I go to grab him and the second he sees my hand he jumps back and he just balls back up sometimes when he uncoils in my hands, it seems as if he wants to strike but hesitates. Am I doing something wrong? Is this typical since he's in a new environment? I haven't had my first bite yet and I'm kind of nervous ( I'm sure all of you were too before you realized it doesn't really hurt!). Any help on how to tame him? thanks guys! I'll be on in a little to reply if any one replies to me.
