    Sometimes they're less head-shy than others. I have some adults who won't even let you go near their heads, and others, both hatchlings and adults that don't seem to mind at all.

    Each ball python is different, and if your husbandry is spot on, then you just have a gentle snake.:snake:

    Nah, not being head-shy, as far as I is not a symptom for any virus.

    Things like star-gazing, spinning, trouble breathing, and popping noises are all some good symptoms of common and uncommon viruses/infections.

    Yours is just a gentle snake.:D
