Biting Ball

I have said this before but saying it again. I have to have the meanest ball python around. 7 months old and she bites the crap out of me. She knows I am not food but everytime I go near her she goes into attack mode. But being so small I just pick her up and walk around with her anyway. She hits me about 3-4 times then I put her back. Does anyone else have a killler Ball? LOL

hmm...I don't think I have ever been bitten by a ball python. Surely I have sometime in the past 30 something years...I have to think on that one lol...I really can't remember ever taking a hit from one.

She eats a mouse every 5 days but I havent fed her cause she only takes live and I have been trying F/K and F/T but she hasnt taken it yet. Julius said to keep trying and she will give in and thats what I am doing. It has only been like 8 day since she has eaten. I dont see what a vet visit will do for her but hey I will give it a shot. She was there about a month ago clean bill of health.

I didn't know she was eating every 5 days. She's probably got a few problems. One being she's stuck in perpetual hunt mode from being fed too often. She probably doesn't feel very well from having her digestive system taxed, constantly digesting. They need to replentish the gut flora. they have a slow metabolism and you may have a bit of a log jam going on in there.
