    ok, so then it isn't spider wobble (a neurological issue all spider ball pythons have)

    can you give us some details on your husbandry?

    Type/size cage, heat source, is the heat source regulated, what you re using to measure temperatures/humidity, what your current temperature/humidity readings are.

    Also it would be good if you could tell us how, what, how much, and how often you feed her.

    Sorry to butt in, but I recently read this in my Ball Python care book. The author said he had a python that was acting aggressive, and they finally realized that because his cage was in the laundry room, and they had just gotten a dryer, that it was vibrating his cage. They moved him into another room and he calmed down and stopped striking. The point of the story was that there can be a strange, but very real reason for the change in your snakes behavior.

    I hope someone who is an expert can help you out more!

    Knowing everything about your enclosure, your temps, humidity, what your feeding , what size, how you heat the enclosure, how your reading the temps, etc., would really help out.

    Shes in a big tank :) with the warm side with a heat pad and a heat lamp her basking area is monitored with a thermometer kept at 90 and then the middle she's got a big log and little logs by her hide so when she shedds she can rub on stuff then the cool side with her water kept at 75 behind her dish she has leafs to hide in and a couple sticks to climb on/ still adding slowly and that side has a thermometer as well and in the middle there's a humidity gage... She has 12 hours light 12 dark feeds live mice every week... She was my boyfriends sisters snake she was in a tiny little tank and it was being neglected :( she's always been kind and calm except for feeding latley oh ya and feeds in a separate box not environment!

    how big of a tank? big tanks can actually be bad for them

    Does the heat pad have a thermostat controlling it?

    Check out this thread I wrote on cage heating:

    Do you have a probed thermometer? or just stick on ones?

    And she's in the living room/kitchen it's a quite household and not near anything that could upset her? No speakers or appliances just a hallway

    The tank was recommended by our pet store who sells snakes and what not... But it's a purty big tank! And the heat pad is just one setting... The thermometers is just little one that sit wherever we put it till moved by her also the only ones available in this tiny town we don't even have a vet that deals with reptiles if anything happens to her we will have to travel witch will prob stress her more! :(
