    well that sounds a little condescending... and why would an animal that has hooked teeth used for grappling strike at something it doesn't want near it?

    I have been moving him to feed him since I got him and he only recently ( the last month or so) started getting aggressive before feeding

    Sounds like a strong feeding response rather then "aggression". I never mess with my snakes on feeding day because they are very hungry and will look at everything like it is food (including me).

    Try feeding your snake in the home enclosure. You might find that it is easier and then there is no risk of the snake biting you.


    Ball pythons do bite and strike defensively. They bite quick and let go. Striking and coiling would be if they wanted to eat what they were striking at.

    Just like people, animals grow up and change in personality too. If thats not working out for you and him/her anymore, it doesnt hurt to try it.
