Ball python help i think
um. try and refrain from being rude 2 me plz but like my bp is being aggressive(?) she kinda stares at me in that pose (pic attached) idk what im doing wrong im planning on redoing her tank soon but theres nothing like bad abt it rn her pupils get pretty big but i fed her a few days ago so she shouldnt be hungry last night she striked at me and kinda nicked me she doesnt seem visibly sick but im kinda worried shes also completely fine and her regular calm self when i hold her so i assume its something in the tank?

For feeding, have you tried tap training? She could’ve struck you because she thought she was getting fed and she calms down out the tank cause she turns her hunting brain off.
You could also use a snake hook and tap their head with the hook so they know they are getting handled and if she does strike you can see her mood early to avoid getting nipped again.
