    Twitchy when i touch her...

    Iv had this girl since middle of summer, weighs 239g last time i checked, very good eater, never misses a meal. I feed her every 5 days, eating bigger rat pups. She is in a 20q tub, 2 hides, tstat on flexwatt, warm side 90f, cool side 80-82f. Iv just noticed the last few weeks when i take her out and hold her she is great, but when i touch her side with my hand, that part of her kinda twitches, never really noticed it before so i just wanted to ask. Thanks again!!!

    Really? My bro has a 4 yr old, not really twitchy. I thought it was because of the age difference? I knew it was not anything to worry about, but just had to ask.

    Mine does that sometimes too, she just kinda moves all her side muscles in a wave. It's really trippy to see.

    Don't worry about a twitchy ball python, nothing to worry about there! I would just give her some time and over the upcoming months she will get used to everything you do on a daily basis.

    Re: Twitchy when i touch her...

    My bigger snakes don't really do that, but the smaller ones do, guess they can out grow it?

    btw I found the title of this thread kinda funny
