I'm not sure if this a kind of a stupid thread but I've seen so many other people discuss having defensive snakes so I'd figure I'd ask. Anyways, I got a ball python a little over a week ago (see my other post for tank/husbandry info on him) and ever since I got him he has never balled up, hissed, bit, struck or anything. I've picked him up and held him a couple times (needed to tweak stuff in his tank, im aware you shouldn't handle until they eat a couple times but he didn't seem to mind being picked up at all) I'm not sure if I just got lucky with his personality or it's unusual for a new BP, especially one I've started handling so soon.
