Sounds to me like an average baby. Small, scared, likely hungry, you'd be crabby too.

If your enclosure is right, and she has good hides and temps, most likely she's hungry. Baby ball pythons eat a lot, and if you aren't providing enough food, they get really food aggressive. The fact that she strikes out when you come near tells me she's reading your heat signature and reacting to that. She NOT being aggressive or mean, she's doing what she is supposed to do. A human baby cries in reaction to it's needs. If the baby is cold, hot, hungry, wet, etc. It's up to you to decipher what is causing the crying. Once you know the problem and correct it, no more crying baby

Your baby is striking out at you because that what she's supposed to do. It's up to you to figure out if she's cold, scared, hungry or stressed out. Once she is warm, secure, full and relaxed, no more trying to re-arrange your body and face with her itty bitty teeth.
