Got bit by my ball python, Sissy, about a week after I got her. She pooped on me within 15 minutes or taking her out but kept handling her rafter I cleaned up. Put her on the bed to roam around and then went to touch her head to see what she would do and got tagged. Was standing in front of her and reached for her head and she quickly recoiled and struck. Has not done that since but I also haven't reached toward her head while I wasn't holding her.
