    Ball Python Question

    I have a 7 month old pastel ball python he eats good and is healthy but he has trouble turning himself over unless I touch him then he sorta just tucks his head under his neck is this something wrong with him I would not think it would be IBD.

    Re: Ball Python Question

    You mean if you put the snake down on its back, it will just stay that way and will not right itself? If so, that is not a good sign. There are all kinds of issues, not just IBD, that could cause this.

    How long has your snake been doing this? Does it display any other symptoms?

    most likely he's hiding his head.
