Hello all!
As said in the title, I have had my 5 month old Ball Python for 4 months. She is in a tank with the sides and back covered. There are two different looking hides on the cool and hot end and overall the husbandry is spot on. I handle her about three to four times a week so she is used to me. However, when she is popping her head out of her hide or completely out of her hide, she gets very scared when I am near the tank. For example, if she is smelling her surroundings and I walk by and say hello, she immediately stops and stares at me. It is like she is very scared. I do not understand it because I handle her as much as recommended so she knows my scent and trusts me (I think.)
Is this a behavior that will diminish over time or will she always be scared of me while in her enclosure?
Please, let me know
Thanks!
