How old are your horrible attitude hets? I wouldn't really call a ball mean until it's outgrown the "everything wants to eat me" baby stage.

Mean ball pythons are really supposed to be rare but I worry with the general belief that they are better feeders (and they may well be some of the good ones) they are being bred into cb morph lines more.

By far my worse two are a pet store girl and her adult daughter. Both hiss like bull snakes, flatten out and strike regularly. I strongly suspect there is a genetic component involved, at least in my case. I probably shouldn't breed them but they share some interesting belly markings (het pied like) so I want to see if there is anything to that. Not sure what I'll do with them after the do or don't prove but I'd hate to see this become the normal and ball pythons no longer be known as a docile handleable species.
