Hi ! I recently got a ball python. Around 3 weeks ago, and he is about 1.5 years old. Sometimes, he is very mean. And other times, he does not strike. Two days ago, He was doing fine, and was crawling around. He was reaching for my bed, and hit his head. He got frightened, and started striking everywhere. Today, I was going to pick him up, he tried to bite a few times. I dont know what to do. This is my first BP, and he is eating very well. Within a few seconds of seeing the prey. (dead)
