    ball python shaking
    I just got done feeding my ball python, when i went back to see if the mouse was gone and it was but my ball python was also shaking too. Its not his head shaking either, its his body especially his tail, what could be wrong with her??

    I wish I could help, hopefully another more experienced member will see this. If it does not go away soon i would arrange a vet visit.

    My little pin male likes to wag his tail at mealtimes. He gets so excited! Not sure if that's what you're seeing...

    Shaking?? Or undulating? They will undulate their whole body to help move the food down into the stomach. Some are more dramatic about this process than others.

    Is it still happening after time has passed? If so, then I have no idea and would have to wonder if there might have been some sort of chemical contamination on the prey item. A video of the "shaking" might help, too. But if it's something more than normal body movements while eating, there won't be much we can do to help except recommend a visit to a qualified vet.
