python. They're docile by nature, although I have heard of a few nippy fiesty ones, it isn't common. Babies are just going to be more afraid simply because they are babies. They don't know that you won't harm them, for all they know you could be preparing to eat it. Less handling and shorter time periods, until she gets older and calmer.

Also, is she eating consistently, handling too much can cause her to stop eating because it's too much stress.
She's always been an excellent eater. She's never missed a meal. I've been feeding her every 5 days, usually two small mice. I just tend to feed her until she stops being in hunting mode and goes into her hide, but I do worry about possibly overfeeding her? Is that something I need to be concerned about at all?
As I'm sure everyone can tell, I didn't do nearly enough research before I bought her, but I'm trying my best to learn as much as I possibly can now.
