Help to stop hissing
I need help to stop my female bp to stop hissing. Any suggestions to do this. I handle her two or three times a week, I put a piece of my shirt in there for my scent and she still hisses at me. Its only when I go to get her out after shes out she dosent strike or hiss any more.
Thanks
Brian

Why do you need to stop her from speaking?
Many snakes hiss when you take them out. Though balls typically are a little more docile, they are certainly not to be discluded. If the hissing makes you nervous, try using a hook to remove her from her cage. In time she should eventually calm down, though some snakes never do - typically with balls (and a good portion of the hissing population...lol ) this is just a bluff to show their displeasure and try to intimidate you. Hope this helped

The hissing in now way make me nervous. Even when she hisses I take her out and shes fine. I have a few snakes and none hiss so I was just wondering if this was normal for bps.
Thanks it did help.

My ballpythons never his, how ever our burms did and still do on occasion, the main thing I think it is because they're in a top opening cage.
