    Re: Ball Python Defensive/Aggressive

    What are your temps like and how much/often are you feeding her? Most of the time snakes strike it’s out of discomfort, fear, or hunger. I agree that getting bit by a BP isn’t a big deal but I still don’t like getting bit . Have you tried hook/tap training? It works great for my snakes if they’re a little amped up which usually only happens when they’re hungry. You can also wear gloves and a long sleeve shirt for added protection until she realizes that biting you in is futile. I hope she settles down for you soon.
