tempermate

[nat_the_brat]

Hi
another question from someone considering getting a ball. I was wondering what their tempermates are like. I know they are known as a good beginner snake due to their docile nature but do they respond well to handling? (provided that they are healthy cb animals).

Captive Bred Ball Pythons are (as a rule) dog tame, but too much handling is not good for any snake. Although they may not show it, a snake may become stressed with too much handling, and over time may begin to show signs of stress. But yes, if you want a nice tame python that will tolerate occasional handling, then Balls are the way to go. Hope this helps.
