I’ve come to laugh when a ball python strikes at me! They have tiny teeth, good luck with that buddy! Lol, even the meanest ones don’t even bother any more, since I pick them up with supreme confidence.
PS*: We named the Mojave Pied male “Ahole”. He’s the biggest PIA snake I have ever owned lol All the other snakes have calmed down and are much more approachable and calm.
It's gonna be funny when he eventually becomes the biggest sweetheart in your collection. My most shy girl (when I got her) has become a social butterfly. She loves coming out and climbing on my wife and me. Ahole may well end up surprising you.

Congrats on the new arrivals. When they all get settled. Please show us some pics!
My favorite of them all!! Super calm, curious and sweet male. Pastel Fire Orange Dream Double Het Lavender Clown. This is the temperament I was looking for

This is one of the girls. A little nippy but she calmed down fast Super Pastel Lesser Calico Het Clown.

The other snakes weren’t up for taking pictures so I’ll post them later
This makes me wonder though. Is temperament a genetic trait?

Gosh I really hope he does!! I can’t even open his tub without him lunging at me....there’s a big sign “DO NOT OPEN” on his tub so my kids don’t open it by accident.

I’m tempted to just go ahead and let one lunge at my hand just to see what it feels like....might take my fear away or not lol I’m a girl btw but buddy works lol
