My ball python would never strike just ball up or hiss when reaching for him and was very scared with fast movements. Two months later he actually crawls up my hand and arm when going in his cage and he has never balled up or hissed. I can pet his head or anywhere on his body without a flinch. I handle two to three times a week so he learned to tolerate me quickly. I know snakes do not enjoy being held but I think mine "looks foward" to streching out and exploring when out of the cage.
