Hey yall, just thought I'd introduce myself, my name is Ian and I'm eighteen years old! I have a baby ball python that I bought about two weeks ago, he's about 15 inches long. Here are my questions: I've had BP's in the past, but this one is VERY skiddish, I can handle him, but he still jerks back, and doesn't enjoy to be touched too much. Very good eater (sometimes I think he eats to much, about twice a week AGGRESSIVLY!sp) Lately he only comes out for a few hours during the day, and when he does he is completely balled up and his head is no where to be seen. I currently have him in a 10 gallon tank (plan on upgrading very soon) with a hidebox, water disk, 70 watt heat lamp, and an undertank heater. Why has he been so balled up and shy lately? Also, what can I do to make him a little more friendly, I've considered switching to another animal such as bearded dragons, but BP's are so much more interested. He's bitten me twice, no blood or pain, just scared the crap out of me! I wear gloves now. Thanks in advance
