    Hand taming an aggressive ball python?

    I figured I'd ask, since I've not had him or his female companion for very long. Since I've unpacked him from the box, (Which was a few months ago now) he's been very bitey and on the offensive. He'll puff up his body, hiss at me, snap at me. I can't get anywhere near him without him snapping at the side of his tub if he so much as sees me. I have a snake hook that I use to move his head away from me and move him from place to place to ensure that I don't get bitten, but are there any suggestions as to what I can do to get him to calm down?

    Before anyone asks, yes his temperatures/humidty are up to par. Yes he eats good, and yes his substrate is just fine. He has a hide, and uses it often.
