I've only received one that thought it would be more fun to bite than ball up. My boa was a completely different story though. She was super upset when I got her.Originally Posted by evan385
I finally got my pastel at 12:30 so this is my unboxing video. Now I don't mean to spoil it but he tried to bite me twice. Is this normal for a ball python who just spent the last eighteen hours in a box with little mobility? Yeison told me that he doesn't take the time to hold all of his snakes and that is why he's aggressive. I am more than willing to take a few bites to be able to hold my new baby. I think once i'm holding him he'll be fine, but how do I pick him up without getting a bite? Should I leave him alone for a few days before I pick him up again? I honestly don't think I have the willpower for that, and I quit smoking on a whim. Anyways tell me what you think! Ignore the pink blankets, I filmed this in my niece's room because it had the most light. I'll take some pictures later when he's not so grumpy

You really need to give him time to settle and I personally wouldn't start handling him until he starts eating for you.
When you go to pick him up if he's ready to tag you use a paper towel tube to touch his head. That's what I have to do with a lot of mine because when I open tubs lately they're all looking for food. They just get the look in their eyes like they're contemplating if they could swallow me.
