    Hehehe Slim... That sounds hilarious.

    My Hypo Butter has a monster of an attitude. It's WAY worse close to feeding day so I just leave him alone at that time. During the rest of the week he's handle-able but gives me four or five good warning strikes before I grab him. He settles down and explores in about 30 seconds but he definitely lets me know when the handling session is over.

    Your pin is probably suffering from bratty baby syndrome too, but if she turns out to be just temperamental, she'll learn to trust you and you'll learn to roll with it. Then you'll feel really cool when you're the only one capable of holding 'the grumpy one' (;

    I have a het pied female who could rival any temperamental blood python with the attitude she has. Other babies have tamed down just fine, she is still a wicked monster and shes over a year old.

    120g for a 2011? I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and assume her aggression is food related because that is incredibly small for a 2011. Not trying to cause any problems, just being honest. Have you tried feeding her more often or larger meals? All of our balls are very well fed, only get handled for maintenance and I can only think of one instance where one struck at either my wife or myself in the past couple years, which was a breeding male who hadn't eaten in a couple months.

    120g is small for a early- or mid-2011 bp, but not a late one. If she was hatched in November or December she's going to be a lot smaller.

    I'm just going to sit on the perception that Pins, BEL complex - Mojo, Black Pastel and Cinnies are the Balls with an extra shot of attitude. :p

    True a late 2011 will be smaller, but I have a couple December 2011 hatchlings and they are all between 300-400g and get fed appropriately sized rats every 5 days. Hard to believe it is the 3rd week of April already and they are 5 months old. I still believe that 120g is very small for a late 2011. Seeing as the OP has only had them a short time I have to assume that the breeder was maintenance feeding it.

    She eats like a champ, easily taking meals her size (young adult mice). I weighed them too just to make sure, they're 15% give or take a few grams. At first she was super nervous of her food too, so I sized down, but then she got ballsy and eats well.

    And yeah slim, she will turn to my face occasionally at which point its time to go back.

    Well just keep that up and she will snap out of it and start growing like mad. Ours usually hit a major growth spurt around 150g or so, so look out!

    Sounds like the same crap my girl does. The tracking, s position, she will strike at someone that walks past. This is the snake I received my first bite from. Little butt head.
