Best Answer

Yes - A female Royal (ball) Python will get aggressive - because the developing eggs inside her can put pressure on her internal organs - causing discomfort.

Especially if you try to handle her her before she's laid the eggs.

There is no proof of this, but I do believe that they will sense that. That does not nessecarily mean that they will become more docile or aggressive or anything, it depends on the snake and how their relationship is with their owner.

Gently palpate the abdomen and if you feel firm masses it's likely gravid. Otherwise take it to your vet and they will run an ultrasound.
