Not all ball pythons want to ball up, it depends on the individual. My albino male has never balled up in his life, from since I purchased him at one month old, and he is 2.5 years old now.
My BEL rarely balls up either- I've only seen him do it maybe twice in his life.
They also don't usually ball up just from being touched a bit, it's usually after being picked up and held.
The other four BP's I've owned/own ball up often.
