Hello,

I just got my third ball python(bumblebee) few days ago. She is almost 2 months old and weight at 107g. I got my first two when they were between hatchling and juvenile which were well started.
Curiosity came up when I got struck by my bumblebee ball python twice on different day. My other two never struck at me even if hands were in front of their face, guessing they were kind of tamed as hatchlings or just nice haha.
Anyways, this was my first time getting struck by ball and was a shock lol. Didn't hurt but felt like actually owning a snake. Ofc my hands were in the strike range but since I never experienced it, I wasn't really cautious about it.
I know babies can be nippy and could be fixed by constant handling. My question is that, do all ball pythons get tamed as they grow up? even if they are super nippy as baby? or are there some balls that will still strike as they grow even with constant handling?
What are reasons for striking? stress? scared? She was fed so it probably wasn't hunger, but it has only been about 4 days since I brought her to new environment. She is in a hatching size tub in a rack.

I just hope this girl would get tamed and not strike when she grows. I wanted to hear some stories or experience from people who has more experience with babies. I only have 6 months experience of keeping balls and first time getting actual baby I guess.
