Ball Python Keeps Biting and Holding

[Bogertophis]

I forgot to mention Freya’s a whopping 273 grams now according to the scale at the vet’s office! That seems like a huge jump from just a few months ago. I’m guessing their growth starts to ramp up once prey items increase in size.

Most snakes put weight on fast, once they start taking hands... LOL

That's great that her health has checked out, pending her stool check too...just frustrating that she still thinks you're edible. That's unusual for most snakes,
but especially for BPs. Maybe in time & with more handling she'll get the right idea...I hope so, for your sake. Hang in there, glad you're trying to hook train too.

The vet's confidence in handling her might play some part in who your snake thinks is edible, but I think it's more likely that she was inhibited by the new
unfamiliar surroundings & unusual smells.
