With persistence and quite a lot of patience, you will be able to train your ball python to a certain extent. You can teach them to stay calm and rub their body from a distance. This prevents the ball python from getting aggressive and striking or biting you when you give them their feed. Usually, ball pythons prefer to feed on live rodents and insects. However, with adequate amounts of training, you can feed them frozen prey. This is mainly because most pet owners do not feel comfortable feeding live prey animals to their pets. Like most other snakes, you can’t domesticate the ball python entirely. However, you can take them to a certain extent once they get accustomed to their enclosure and owner’s touch. Though you may not be able to train them like other domesticated animals like dogs, you can successfully train them to a certain degree gradually.
