    Ball Python lay on her side
    Hi guys,
    i'm very new to the forums..

    i got my female pastel about 1200 grams now, and not paired yet.. i found it this morning lay on her side on the edge of the containers ( not completely lay on her back ), tried to knock the container to see the reaction, shes back to normal position , and then i googled about ball python laying down , most of the issues i found was either it was gravid or it has IBD.. should i be worried about IBD ?

    Sorry for the bad english.. :D

    1) A picture would help if it happens again.
    2) If she carries the spider gene this may be normal for her, mine tend to be a little weird and I will often find them lying in odd positions. I haven't found one on its back yet, but others have reported it.
    3) She may also have been treating the side/corner of her enclosure as a hide if you don't have appropriate ones for her somewhere else in the enclosure.
