    How much Ball is in your Python?

    Just wondering how many of you out there have balls that hardly live up to the name. I've had mine about 4 months and the only time he ever really balled up was the first day I brought him home I would definitely say they should be better known as Royals

    Hah mine all ball up about 70% of the time when I get them out of their cages, then they get over it and start moving around. I have pictures of each of them balling up

    That's how mine is. I think she is just trying to tell me "HEY I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!"

    Then when she knows I won't bugger off she gives in and wanders around

    Re: How much Ball is in your Python?

    I've had mine all for a few years (well, a few- couple I've only had for a few months), and I only have one that balls up, and he doesnt even really do that- its more like a half/loose ball. lol. I dont know how to describe it.

    Depends on the snake... some of them are always balled up it seems while others never do.

    I have a few that I have never seen ball up (Zoltan and Olive). While I had one (Markus) that I could have rolled him across the floor if I had taken in inclination.

    Re: How much Ball is in your Python?

    well nine out of ten of mine ball up on me, boom is the only one that seems inquisitive! the rest just ball up. i still dont hold them that often because they aren't on normal feeding cycles. i only hold them once every day or every other day when im replacing the substrate. i guess they'll get used to my heat signature eventually haha
