    Re: Very nippy ball python tips

    Personally, I wouldn't be in any hurry to handle her. She's clearly not ready. Get her feeding regularly first. That's the most important thing. In the meantime, rather than handling her, I would just sit by her open enclosure. Let her get used to your presence, your scent. Repeated exposure will teach her that you're neither a threat nor food. When she comes to you to check you out, then she's ready to be handled. Start with brief handling. Work up from there.
