I had my ball python since 2004 and just recently he/she has been very aggressive. Everytime I or my girlfriend try to handle him he bites. This only started recently. Possable causes i suspect could be.. more handleing (not daily), my new 30 gallon fish tank (small room), the heat here has been in the 90's and thats about it. I never sexed he/she and was always handled through shedding and has stayed docile until now.. any thoughts?
could he/she be in heat? sheading? is it the temurature? new smells (my girlfriend, fishtank)?
