I've had Rosie, 11 year old ball Python around 4ft, had her for around 3 years. My first reptile and I'm learning as I go.

Recently she's started making a noise she's never made before. In fact is typically very quiet. Happens when I introduce food or if I reach in to touch her and gauge her sociability. It's a wheezy croaking whining sound. Varies how long she draws is out and volume. She's always be very social and docile with us and now seems to be bothered moreso. She's recently had a good shed and eaten a couple days ago. She's also started star gazing a lot. Nose pointed up in whatever position her body lies. Again this hasn't been typical until recently.
