How old is the snake? Especialy if it a hatchling it is probably stressed. Give it a snug hide, comfortable temps and humidity, and a little damp sphagnum moss in the hide and some peace a quiet. Don't handle it for a few days, then just when cleaning its cage for a while.It should settle in and calm down in time. If it is a larger snake it is probably still from stress, and hopefully the same treatment will help.

Hi, Not sure what you mean "tame my Ball"?.........Are you having problems with biting, hissing, etc. I know how to prevent bites generally speaking.....(21 years experience with BPs)... If eating well, active, and well behaved I'd say you are ON TRACK!! If not let us know what issues you are having specifically and we'll work around it....................................God Bless, Lee Van Hyfte
