The aggressive behavior you are describing may result from stress. Snakes are incapable of emotions or attachment to another being. They do not have social skills or love or hate. This is because they have no frontal lobe. Ball pythons like living alone, all of them, all of the time. They only interact with another ball python in the wild to breed and incubate/hatch young. This is fact, for sure, absolutely, no questions asked. You should sell the female now and keep the male mojo alone in your nice display tank.

They're in a 75 gallon tank and which get's separated in two for feedings, however they consistently break the barrier to the point where I gave up. If i pick him up to take him out, she attacks me. When I successfully get him out, he tries to climb back in. The only reason I haven't sold her previously is because when they've been in separate tanks they both kind of go crazy. So I've just figured that if I want to keep him, I'll have to suck it up and deal with her.

Also, definitely a male/female pair. They are both proven she has successfully laid eggs before (sired by him). The only reason I bought the pair was because the guy didn't know how to feed them and they were starving
