    Does anyone actually have a BP that balls up?
    I do :)
    Gunther, our recent addition.. he is a big baby. He is about 2000 grams, a big snake. But the second you go to remove him from his tub.. he balls up like a knot. None of my others do this.. my spider actually tries to slither away when you grab him, and the others either sit there or hiss (one hisser; Luna..) You?

    Re: Does anyone actually have a BP that balls up?
    when i first got my bp she would ball up everytime i took her out. but after a few days, she didn't do it anymore. and still hasn't to this day. maybe because he's getting used to his new home?

    when i first got my male he balled up, now hes just very into rapping around my fingers tightly when holding, i think its for security. he then after about 4 mins of holding hell loosen up and move around.

    I havent held him for a few days tho because im waiting to hold until he eats again.

    It is funny to see a big adult BP ball-up though! Like a big ostrich burying its head. I love these snakes :)

    I got a few hisser but its always a bluff. The only time any of mine ball up is on the weekends when I go in the snake room. We have wooden floors so they feel the vibrations very easily and if you peek in their hides youll seem em tighten up. Other than that I work during the week and theyre usually awake when I'm home. They all get a good portion of handling so theyre rather comfortable being held.

    This was my 7th(?) bp... *finally* it made sense. :)

    The rest will retract and the odd duck and jab, but they don`t ball up.

    heh....that one looks like it belongs on one of those faux motivational (demotivational?) posters.

    that photo, combined with the title "DENIAL" and then some scathing truism :)
