So I got my first ball a few weeks ago. She was fine to be handled for short periods of time, but I kept it to a bare minimum.
She had eaten two meals right on schedule (every Tuesday).
Last night I tried to feed her. She would strike at the rat but it was if she was afriad of it, she didnt eat it.
Since then when ever I walk by the tank, she strikes at me. If I open it up to take her out, she strikes at me. I took her out with a glove and she didnt bite me, but she hissed and as I was holding her she'd "freak" out and try to get away.
Why all of a sudden?
How often should I take her out and for what amount of time? I dont want to stress her out, but I want a family friendly snake.
I was under the impression that balls werent an aggressive snake by nature. Is she just scared? I want to fix this.
