Scared of your new baby Ball Python?

[@Cameronspigeongang]

@Worldofwilcox you know who I am and being scared of them and such is a struggle with me and I don’t know why I am scared of them but I have not been bit by my baby boy lazurus and really anyone who read this please give me a a little feedback

[@jwilcox]

If you watch how I’m holding them. Confidence is what you need. Hold him steady, but don’t hold onto him. You are just there to support him wherever he goes. We’ll see about getting you over here so you can work with some of these bigger kids and break that fear. In the meantime, mimic what you see me doing in the video. Confident, steady, slow movements. I showed you how to walk him hand to hand when he decides to go somewhere. He’ll jump when he hits his nose on something. He’s a timid little baby boy. Think of it this way. You’re his dad. Holding his hand through a really scary place. Make him feel safe.

Thanks dude

[@IntrepidExotics]

Yup, all on-point. These little guys don't want to hurt anyone, they just wanna feel safe :-)

Great information and awesome snakes

[@indelaxiom]

Love this video! Great info for new owners. I held my first Ball Python last week and it was such a great feeling and now I want one!

[@jwilcox]

We love all of our’s. They are wonderful animals to keep.

[@jwilcox]

Thank you!!

[@tracymanning1919]

Love that you touched on the excrement during holding! Bowtruckle is still trying to train me (it isn't working he gets to hang out even longer). Love the info!

[@caughtafaygo]

very cool!

[@jwilcox]

Thank you!!

[@aksa908]

Great video. The music was appropriate and suits your narration. The mic has a lot of static it seems

[@jwilcox]

Not hearing static through any of our devices, computer or tv. Running a Røde go 2. I appreciate the input. I’ll have to run the KZbin upload through the meter later tonight and see what’s up.

[@aksa908]

@@jwilcox maybe it’s just background noise. When you make a cut, you can hear this noise going away and coming back

[@YashaVatrushka]

They really look like little baby ducks with their big black eyes... even cranky babies look adorable.

[@constrictedandaddicted]

Good stuff Jeremey!!!

[@jwilcox]

Thank you Sir!!

[@heidimj1380]

Nice array of ages and behaviors. I'm not familiar with how certain morphs may be more skittish, standoffish or the opposite. In your opinion, which balls have the most docile temperaments, or spice like the banana? 🤔

[@jwilcox]

Just my observations of the animals we’ve had in our care for a few years. I’m sure there are docile and cranky kids in every morph.

i have a very scared/shy ball python, she's 7 months now & progressed alot. It use to take her 15-20 mins to unravel from her ball when i use to take her out the enclosure, and now she unravels within 5 mins, very glad shes opening up and exploring more lol my spotted python is the complete opposite he would greet me when i come up to the tank and wants to get out of the cage as the ball python would just rather hide until feeding day lol

#Edumacation Thisnhelp will help alot of ppl see they arent monsters

[@jwilcox]

😂 that hashtag!!

[@tiffanyjones8349]

Not scared of the babies.... scared to get nipped the first time just cause it has never happened before 😅😅😅

[@jwilcox]

It’s gonna happen. Probably more than once. It’s part of it, and nothing more than startling.

[@tiffanyjones8349]

@jwilcox yeah I know probably be happy when it does so I don't have to wonder the unknown
