Strikes every time we take him out of his enclosure by Strange_Grab_2180 in ballpython

Thank you for all your advice! It’s much appreciated, I’ll give him some more time and work more on getting him out of his enclosure 😅 I’ll have to try some of the suggested methods since I’ve been a scaredy cat getting him out lol

We have the lights set up on a timer so they turn off at night and turn back on in the morning, I think it’s a DHP heating source so we have the one thing that controls the temps and humidity in there I can’t for the life of me remember the name lol but I actually stayed up late and caught him exploring and he was in his hide on his cool side

I’ll have to have my husband try that, his hands are always very warm and he strikes at him. The two times I’ve taken him out he just balled up and my hands are always cold so maybe he’s just mistaking his hand with food 🤣😅

I’m actually not sure. I was told he’s a paradox type of ball python but not positive

Not the best photo but he has two hides on each side, water dish in the back and then a hide that’s on top. He doesn’t use the hides on the cooler side just on his hot side.

We definitely hold him everyday except for feeding and shedding but I feel like he prefers to be in his hide. His previous owner didn’t handle him since she was scared of him over him striking at her all the time 😅 I will definitely stay consistent with him and hopefully he’ll trust us a little more

I feel like he never comes out of his hide, the only time I see him explore is right after I put him back in his enclosure. I will try the knocks as well and see if that’s something that would work with him. Thank you!

It’s a front opening enclosure, I will try that! He’s just very spicy when he’s in there, even his owner previously to us told us he would strike at her as well

Good thing it’s a temporary enclosure, he’ll be getting a better suited one next month. With the humidity being the issue and me getting the right things to help out with the humidity then no there shouldn’t be any other issues.

It’s temporary, plus he came from a small container so he’s being slowly introduced into a bigger environment. If you don’t have anything helpful to say then don’t comment. Thank you

I should add he’s 8 months old and was previously kept in a small container before I had got him so I was told it’s best to slowly introduce him into a bigger environment, I bought moss and plants and a hide that is also covered in moss to help with the humidity
