    Re: New ball python striking a lot

    I think it's admirable that you want to try working with her and I think she will also grow out of it. It is a hatchling (baby) behavior that is not uncommon. Justin Kobylka addresses the aggressive baby ball python on his you tube channel. His technique is very effective and will help you as you go forward. Remember too that these guys have their own personalities and I think you should immediately slow down on the daily handling and begin to feed her in her enclosure. I would work with the little snake and have her gradually grow out of it. I will look for a link to Justin's video of how to tame a aggressive hatchling and post it for you.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
