Coming at you from all the way back in 2005 - another lifetime ago for me! I remember this guy, I ended up naming Diablo. He still has a home with an ex-forum member as well

Hey all! Brand new to the forums... and I have a couple questions. I recently adopted a ball python from a foster home. The little guy has been through a lot to say the least, RI's and bad treatment. Anyway, his foster 'parent' and I were in communication, and she shipped him overnight to me. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions or some such bull, the poor guy wasn't delivered on Friday morning... he was delivered on MONDAY morning. He was in the box for four days and nights. I didn't have much hope that he would make it... but, low and behold, he survives on. Now, the question I have... his foster 'parent' said that he had never been nippy before and that even her children could handle him. Yesterday, however, when I got me out of the box, he bit me. He bit me again when I was putting him into his tub... and struck countless other times. I've left him alone since then. I'm hoping if I leave him alone for a week or so, maybe he'll go back to his normal temperament. The foster agrees. She thinks he's just completely stressed. What do you guys think? Good idea? Any other suggestions?
