I got a baby ball a little while ago and have been handling him about 5 days a week. At least 15 minutes. He struck a few times when he was really nervous but overall he has been calming down very well. Everytime I handle him is during the day except last night I took him out. He struck like 4 times and then I put him up. My question is balls more aggressive at night time? And when he is aggitated I've been putting him down and handling at a later time. Should i not be doing this? I work nights so it would be hard to handle more a nights.

How long ago did you get this snake? You may be stressing the snake out a bit by handling it so frequently. Also, ball pythons are definitely more active at night (because they are nocturnal), but I don't know about more aggressive.
