    This isn't the case, they are solitary creatures and many (but not all) will have feeding issues if you don't let them settle in. As was stated previously in this thread balls that come from breeders have been in a tub with little to no interaction, and they don't have any issues warming up to their new owners... in fact most people would say that they have a better disposition. I rarely handle every one of my snakes every week and none of them have any "unsocialization" issues. They prefer to be on their own and will tolerate it when I handle them.
