HI there. My son was bitten by his ball python last week while feeding. (my son's fault). This week when we fed him, the snake seemed to be a lot more interested in him than the mouse. The mice are frozen and my son(age 15), usually dangles the thawed out mouse in front of the snake. This week, the snake bypassed the mouse and went after my son instead. He struck at his leg while he walked to the other side of the cage and was trying to follow where he went. We were surprised and don't know what could cause that. Please advise. Thanks for your time.
