    Not sure what's up with my ball python

    Howdy,
    Lately I've been a little concerned and a bit confused about what's up with my bp.
    To start off, a bit of background info about the snake: she eats with no issues; never misses a meal. I provide fresh water for her every day and her temps are proper at 90F on the warm end & 75-80F on the cool end. She's aproximatley a year old..maybe a little younger and she's 460g.
    But the past week, I've noticed that she's become sort of weak and can't do a full coil. She'll just lay in a weird O shape with half of her lower body being limp. She also seems scared and will jerk her head back really fast to even the smallest movents if I move my hand or pick her up. I've heard of stuff like body inclusion disease..which sounds horrid..and some of the things she's showing seem to resemble that disease. Is she okay? Any ideas of what's wrong?
    Thanks.
