Ball Python Keeps snapping at me HELP!!

[ReptiZone]

This is what i do for all new arrivals:

I place a water bowl, rock, one branch, hide box like it is realy a box I get my temps ready way B4 the snake is home.
Then I tape news paper all the way around the tank so it can not se any of the outside of the cage the only interaction it gets is a fresh water bowl every 2nd day and food every friday it stays like that for like one month. Then after it eats a few meals I change the inside.

It is time to decorate but place the snake in a nice dark place for the time being do what you want to the cage but leave the paper up place you snake in the new cage 2 weeks later start removing the paper gradualy like one side a day starting with the side the is less traveld by I normaly start with the back of the tank.

Then if there is still snaping behaviore...chuck the gloves and take it like a real herper a ball python is the last of your trobles when you get bitten tell your self well it could have ben a retic and will start thanking you lucky stars trust me it realy works what ever pain was there is gone and you end up telling your snake ''Is that all you got? I know rats that do more damage then you''

Man I miss my ball python days.

I know what you you feel like though, once my bp striked at me and i was scared about picking him up for about 2 weeks! But now he is fine about letting me hold him.

dont be scared of the snapping......its not like he has fangs...however if he does " get you" ( i know it can be unsettling) DONT JERK BACK....YOU COULD HURT HIS TEETH. and talk to him....sometimes simple sounds, like a greeting when you walk into the room will help him understand yer not going to hurt him.......

It's ok to be scared, but it does not even hurt bad when you do get bit.My ball python has bitten me before and it hurts worse to get bitten by my rat. My kingsnake always try to bite me when i go to pick him up, but once i get him out of his cage he is so nice. The only way to overcome your fear is to just do it.

you can talk to it all you want but it will not help you in the lest bit other then calm your self down cause you think it can hear you.

I would just let him bite himself out, it will see your not a threat. Its just a baby it feel like a pinch
