New Ball Python

[Daigga]

Hello Everyone!
My name is Jacob and I just recently purchased a Pied from RoyalConstrictor designs. This male has been a little worrisome to me because of the way he's been acting. I've given him a few days to rest and he has still been really aggressive and defensive when I try to handle him. It is Monday and I purchased him last Wednesday and tried to handle him many times with no success. I was wondering what the issue is and how I can fix it.

Yours,
Jacob

Leave him be. It can take anywhere from 1 whole week to a month for him to be settled in. Have you gotten a meal into him yet? If not, I definitely wouldn't attempt to handle him until you've done so, no matter how hard it is for you. Other issues could be husbandry related. Can you describe your setup and post a picture?
