My spider was a sweet heart and would eat anything in sight. I do still miss her, she was one of the prettiest snakes i've ever owned.

That guy is full of it. EVERY snake is different, genectics don't make one snake meaner than the other, as far as ball pythons are concerned. Green Tree Pythons are another story, but spiders are not more aggressive, nor do they take longer to tame.

Just keep holding your snake and over time your bond will form, you will love him, and then you will come on here and thank all your fellow snake buddies!
