i have a agressive male, always striking out,
well i put my female with him,to see if there would be any interest,she moving slowy around, then he struck at her so i removed her checked her over she was fine,
any help please
as i want to bred these

If he's striking a lot, he's most likely stressed. You need to address the stress issue before doing anything else. How long have you had him? How is he housed?

he always been like that,since a hatchling which was when i bought him,
3 years ago,
live s in a tub,which again hatchling (smaller) tub,
he ok once out of the tub,maybe he should vist the female

You have a 3-year-old adult male housed in a hatchling-size tub? I think that's your problem...

no what i meant is he benn in a smaller tub from ahatchling onwards,then as he got bigger so did the tubs,

Put the male into the females cage and he more than likely won't bite.

yup think that gonna be the best way, she prob bit him lol,

Is he a normal or a morph?

You might not want to breed him as he might pass his disposition on to his offspring.

I have a mother and daughter that are by far my worst ball pythons for disposition (always hissing and striking). My quandary is that there is a chance they carry a morph gene I want to produce. But I'm really not sure I should be propagating their terrible non ball python like attitudes.

If he is a normal then perhaps another forum member in your area can give you a replacement nice tempered male for breeding or even loan a low end morph.

he a het albino, and sorry but after 3 years rasing him, not gonna pass him on to any other person.
not all royals are calm,and queit, guess they dont read the books telling them the should be calm and seet lol
thank you for replying everyone
