more excitement

[Kymberli]

Hmm.. not sure what to tell you, sorry you are disappointed in your snake. They really are sweethearts, in my opinion. If you bought your snake in hopes that it would be "dangerous", I think you went about it for the wrong reason. To me, that would be like going out and purchasing a Pitbull because it has a bad rep for being dangerous and aggressive (which isn't the case for most properly bred and raised Pitbulls).

Really not sure how to go about this here, I'm a bit thrown off, lol.

sorry if you feel i offended you by when i said im a bit disappointed, i love my snake but the excitement level isnt really there, the fact that he doesnt try to strike at me at all idk.... and you didnt have to tell me that i got a bp for the wrong reasons cuz i didnt, ive always wanted one had one when i was like 3 and nvr had one since, i didnt get one to feel like a bad a** that would be pointless, all you had to do was answer the question not half a*s lecture me on how i bought my snake too feel dangerous, im sorry you focused your attention on the wrong part of my thread

Saying stuff like that is why we questioned you. It seems strange to want a snake just because it's going to be aggressive towards you. I have worked in animal adoption centers, and I have seen people coming for the same reason is you (based on those types of comments you made, please correct me if you are NOT in it for the danger/thrill of an aggressive species). Most of the time, that animal comes back to us when the person realizes they got in over their heads... stressful for the animal and everyone involved.

I would just urge you to pick a snake based on the whole being, not for one specific thing, especially one that is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term. Consider everything that it will require to properly care for that animal - feeding, cleaning, handling, everything. When the thrill factor of him striking at you repeatedly is lost, make sure you have something left to love that snake for as it is with you until its death.

Ball Pythons are known for being one of the least aggressive snakes you can have as a pet. I understand that if you are a thrill seeker, a BP probably isnt doing much in the adrenaline area. I know a couple people that play with venomous snakes for this very reason, but I would not recommend doing this.
Maybe you should consider spiders.. I kept a wolf spider for 2 years that got to the size of a small tarantula in captivity. If you got anywhere close to that thing with your hands it would raise up and show you its fangs... That will give you a rush.. Plus spiders can be very captivating as well.
