My Bp has a serious aggro issues why?

Keep handling him daily for him to get used to your scent. He may feel not comfortable or nervous around you, so when you handle him make sure your calm and gentle with him. Snakes can feel your emotions, so if your scared they will be scared, nervous, and tense a little. If you are calm and happy, the snake will be as well. Also, try not to make fast movements around your BP. BPs seem to hate fast movements, and they will either hide their head underneath their body or strike (but the strike is usually only bumping you with it's nose to scare you away). My male has striked at me a few times, but I'm handling him every day (except the day and the day after feeding) and he seems to be getting used to it. I've had him for 3 weeks now and he's doing great. Just gently and calmly handle him on a daily basis and he will get used to your handling. Show no fear, you know you are way stronger than he is even though he may make movements (striking) to scare you.

*Note- males sometimes will get a little grumpy around mating season, which seems to be getting close (the Fall).

As others have stated, I also disagree with upping this snakes handling to a daily event. Stressed snakes do not usually respond to increasing their stress levels and handling is a stressful time for these shy snakes.

Robin gave some great advice. So did others here.

Mating season for ball pythons is traditionally late fall into the winter months (though many experienced breeders breed year round). June however is not late fall/winter at least where I live.
