I have a ball python which I estimate to be about 2 1/2 years old. It was given to me by a person who no longer wanted it. I also got an aquarium and a water dish.



Lately, the snake has been very aggressive. I normally take it out of its cage and put it into a box when I feed it. Lately I have not been able to do this because I've been scared of it because it has made a few attempts to strike at me through the glass. Also, I have to pour water in through the screen top because if I open the cage, it lifts its head up like it is going to strike.



Please advise me what I should do. I haven't been able to get it out of its cage to clean it or change the bedding! HELP!



PS I'm sure that you realize that I'm new to the snake seen so I know I'm a noob, but I'm also desperate for answers!
