Really, it isn't. I just thought it was funny. :P
I noticed my girl laying like this and couldn't figure out what she was doing. I figured she was just being a typically weird ball python, so I took pictures without flash so as not to disturb her.

Turns out (I checked on her the next morning) the meal she'd eaten the night before (2 mice) was apparently making her a little uncomfortable, and she didn't want to coil up, but rather, wanted to stretch out. Her hide wasn't big enough for that and this was the result.
Yes, I know. Too much time on my hands. :rolleyes: I only have one BP right now - I have to entertain myself somehow. :D
