    aggression..

    Is there really any aggression in ball pythons or is it more likely that the animal has poor husbandry, improper care, exc?

    There is a couple who im considering adopting a ball python from, that I found on craigslist. They claim its aggresive and they want to rehome it. Im interested to see is it possible for a snake to become more "ball python laid back" with proper care? I dont doubt this animal is possibly stressed out and acting badly because of it but i thought when a ball is stressed they will ball up, hense the name. are there any balls (cb) that are really "Aggresive"? They are interested in keeping contact with us to see how our care can hopefully help this animal. It really sounds like they are at their wits ends and really unsure how to help him so they want to get "rid" of him..am i making a foolish mistake or should i go for it? I have high hopes I can help this animal.. im awaiting an answer on age/size/current husbandry/exc

    You all have always been so wonderful and always give great suggestions. I wish I knew about this place when we got our very first ball python years ago. The knowledge I have now compared to then is an amazing difference.. and as a side note, none of my balls have ever been "aggressive" i have had moody scared babies that settle down quickly with a proper setup and time to settle but otherwise no problem animals.
