I have had my new BP's for 12 days now. They are all at or around the 140 gram mark. I have only bothered them for feeding, something i have only been doing once a week. I have yet to clean their cages, but they haven't really gotten them dirty so far. They tend to be really skid-dish and quick to curl up, hiss or strike whenever i open their tubs. How long do hatch-lings take to calm down? I never thought they would be quite this aggressive. Is it just because they are so young? Do i need to handle them more to get them more comfortable with me? What are your experiences with baby Ball Pythons?

Anyway this is just a late night rant. I want to do a longer post about the care i'm giving them with some pictures. I think that will have to wait for another day though. Please give me any info on how you deal with young bp's.
