I have just purchased my first ball python and he has got a temper. The first day that I brought him home, i put him in his cage to get acclimated. I came back a couple of hours later to check on him and he was sitting in his shelter with his head sticking out of the hole. If i would move just slightly near the cage he would try to strike me. I know that I am supposed to leave him alone for about two weeks to let him get acclimated, but i was just wondering, will his behavior change? Will I eventually be able to hold him without the risk of being struck. I know he was captive bred and he came from the same "litter" that my brother's snake came from, and that one is perfectly fine. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
