advice for new ball python
So I picked up my second ball python this weekend. It is a male but I'm not 100% sure on the morph. I did notice a few things though that bother me. The first being some of the scales, mostly the ones edging the ventral scales are lifting. From the bottom. Now there no where near falling off but they do tend to hitch on my gloves a bit so I'm not sure if this is normal before a shed. Or caused by stress. He is also very scared of anyone going near him so I'm not sure if he was dropped as a baby. When I brought him home he would strike the side of the cage. Even if you where 5 feet away. So after a night with a blanket over his cage he seems.to have calmed down from striking. I still use gloves just in case but he is starting to come out of his shell Also if anyone can confirm the morph that would be great.
PS: before anyone starts this is not his cage. This is where he stays while I'm cleaning.
