    Balls are ground-dwelling snakes and probably do not feel very comfortable being held. More than likely, they're just holding on and getting a good grip to feel secure.

    The only time they would seriously constrict you would be if you they mistook your hand for a rodent and tried to "kill" your arm. Believe me, you couldn't mistake that type of constriction.

    Nope, he/she is just trying to hold on.

    I guess the secret's out....

    While we're at it, we might as well go ahead and inform the public that leucistic ball pythons are in fact venomous and live in the ocean.

    It is good when you can feel the squeeze a little. If not, your snake would just fall off your arm..
