    Baby ball striking behavior

    Should I handle her time to time so she gets tamed? or do they just grow out of that stage by themselves? How often should I feed her? she is at fuzzy rat right now, and seems to be controversial among the forum from 4~5 days to once a week routine for babies like this. She ate 2 days ago, and already pooped and peed today. Oh and also another question, should I provide a hide for her? I have small hide that fits her snuggly but can only fit one in there so I figured I shouldn’t so she chooses temp over security.

    It's great that she's fed already and that's very good news .

    More than just about any other snake , Royals need and thrive in a 'stress free environment'.

    I don't use rubs but it's generally that Royals prefer/need two snug fitting hides ( warm and cool) ...

    So I'd get rid of that huge water dish as they rarely choose to soak ( unless they've got mites) .
    I would actually suggest a much smaller glass / pot water dish then you can put two small hides in there .. they really don't like open spaces so some fake silk / plastic foliage would add some clutter and help it feel more secure . Add a couple of branches and it will think it's her birthday
