If you ever do get tagged don't worry. It doesn't hurt. It just freaks you out.
that actually what I was going to do just distract him with something and scoop him up ... Also i guess i can look at his body language if he seems like his neck is all coiled up then maybe I will take extra caution ....Im not scared to get bit I just haven't been bit by a ball python so I have no idea what it feels like thats what freaks me out Im going to let him settle in another day and then start handling him slowly for short periods of time and see how it goes i will keep you posted .
