Taming a Ball Python

What you first need to know is that hatchlings and juveniles are defensive and it's just part of owning a BP

Second you need to make sure to limit the stress. this means make sure that your husbandry is met to a T, an enclosure that is not too big, proper temps etc, this also means refrain on frequent handling.

Third make sure you feed your animal enough.

For the rest is a matter of patience and reasonable expectations, they do grow out of it.

This is very true, I got a banana PH clown that could very well have been possessed by a demon lol. Striking all the time even in his cage. Meanest snake ive ever seen. I just kept handling him once or twice a week for a short time doing my best to not get bit. I kept feeding him, and almost gave up on him. Then one day, I opened his cage and he was just like all my others, maybe a tad skittish, but no longer a biter. Good luck to you! I'm sure it will be OK.
