Hi Everyone!
I am having some trouble with my new ball python. Here is some info:
He is 2 years old and I recently bought him from a reputable breeder online based out of Virginia. He was shipped overnight and I received him on Wednesday 5/7. When I took him out of the box he was EXTREMELY petrified, he was curled up in a ball and when I tried moving him he would hiss and strike. which is understandable. SO I put him in his cage and left him covered until yesterday 5/11. Today is 5/12 and I tried feeding him, but he is still acting the same way as when I got him, striking and hissing. I put him in a box with a live small rat and he was terrified of the rat. Before I bought him I asked the breeder if he was easy to handle and said that he was. I have two other ball pythons, one is a year old and the other is 6 mnths. I have never experienced dealing with a ball python this aggressive. Has anyone had this kind of trouble before? any advice?
Thanks!
