Shy Ball python? + handling help

[Snagrio]

Ok that makes sense. So why you’re saying is just do regular handling where he feels comfortable and as he grows older and feels more secure, then try manually touching. I’ll try that. Probably won’t be till he’s not a baby, but who knows. Also, how do you get them used to head touches if they hate it so much? Thanks for your help

Same way I told you. Have it so that he happens to rub his head against your fingers as he moves about. Don't approach him with the fingers, let him approach them himself and get used to the contact as he moves around them. It will take some patience to have him do so but that's the key. On his own terms.
