Snakes do not ENJOY being handled but they tolerate it. They don't sit in their cage saying to themselves "Oh I hope she takes me out today." My snakes do not enjoy coming out of their enclosures but I like to hold them so I do so. Just because they don't enjoy it doesn't mean you can do it. Its just that ball pythons are not like puppies and kitties that thrive on human interaction. Ball pythons are instinctual animals and display little emotions.
