I have a baby spiderball python and have had him for one month. He eats every Friday, He eats live mice, and he is very tame, i can handle him whenever I want and he just chills or explores or even cuddles to me. I interact with him a lot, I trust him and I believe he trusts me. When I first got him I researched and looked at websites to try to learn how to make my snake happy. I have learned that everyone has something different to say. I do my own thing with him and just learn more about him everyday. they have unique personalities and what works for one may not work for the other. My best advice is dont hover over the head, dont just grab them out of the cage and leave the body to dangle, put a heating pad beneath a snug hiding spot, feed them in a box with no loose bedding, soak them in warm water a few times a week, and handle your snake regularly and be calm while doing so.

Hi, I have had my corn snake for around 2 years now with no problems. It is usually calm and loves to be handled. Today I tried to pick him up but he tried to bite me. It seems really out of place but my friend said it might be because he is hungry because his usual feeding day is tomorrow? Could this be the problem? It really concerns me because he has never tried to bite me before. Thank you for you help!

I was just bit by my new ball python totally my fault she was feeding and mistook my hand for food. She drew a lot of blood, I’m worried I might have issues in the future with guests. Is this mostly a feeding thing, or should I expect her to develop a taste for human blood and must keep her away from public now?. Please help I don’t want to put her down.
