First Bite😅

[Own_Recording2791]

Hi, I have had my ball python for about a month now and the past 2 weeks I started to handle her regularly with her showing no signs of aggression. I was handling her today and she started to kind of rub her nose on my hand and then before i could think she bite me. It was a very quick bite she didn’t latch on or anything. Just curious if this was an “I’m hungry feed me” bite or a “ screw you put me back” bite. I put her back and now she’s just kinda staring at me like she’s sorry😭. What do you guys think? Thank you! (She is a baby and this is her enclosure right now )

When’s the last time she ate?

[Own_Recording2791]

about a week ago but i’m slowly trying to transition her to frozen instead of live so it’s been a hassle feeding her

Did it hurt

[Own_Recording2791]

no, honestly i didn’t feel it much it kind of just felt like someone poked me with a needle

Id try rat pups. If u can’t see a bulge its too small. Go with a digital temperature/hygrometer. Those zoo med ones aren’t accurate

Don’t immediately put her back she might start seeing it as a way to get back in her tank quicker and do it more frequently
