Sometimes they can develop attitudes. Sometimes it is due to something changing. I have 1 particular ball that likes to throw a hissy fit anytime I handle him.
 
It's breeding season I'm pretty sure, if it's female it makes tons of sense. She wants to breed and she's protecting herself so she can do so.(males can have similar behavior). This doesn't happen with every ball python though. My female tegu for example stays docile through breeding season, while ones I work with want to rip your hand off haha.Some people believe animals are able to sense the time of year through barometric pressure sensors. Hopefully it will calm down. If not a ball python bite won't hurt you, light bleeding at most. They're fangs won't get big enough to do any real damage.
