New Balls, question about alino's

mrez Sep 14, 2006 04:28 PM

Hey Everyone, new to the form. I've kept a ball python for 8 years or so (a rescue) and my girlfriend and I finally decided to get a pair of babies. I got a nice little Pastel male and she got a albino girl both from Ian at outback (Service was fantastic btw). We've noticed that the albino acts a bit strange, like her vision isn;t that good. She also got pretty nippy after a day or two. Temps and hides are good, and they both ate two fuzzies yesterday. Is this nippy behavior from the female going to continue or will she grow out of it?

Most grow out of it, but some don't. Right now they feel like prey to everything. Once they get larger they will usually calm down. That said, I have 2 that nail me almost every time I open there bin.
