New BP, suddenly lethargic

Hi, sorry it took me this long to reply.

I've no idea what happened, because as I said, she did seem very weak and lethargic, but about an hour later, she was completely fine again. ((not that it spared me a panic attack and a lot of fear))

I fed her the next day, and she ate without a problem (she's a very fiesty feeder <3 ) and she seems to be perfectly fine again. Thank you everyone for your replies, I was really worried about her.

If that is tape on the INSIDE of the tub, please remove it ASAP. Tape should never be used inside a snake enclosure. It can get stuck to the snake and be very dangerous.

As for whether a vet appointment is required, I am definitely not qualified to make that call, and certainly not through the computer.

As said here tape, any kind should NEVER be inside a snake's enclosure, please remove it if you haven't already.

Oh, I did yeah, I removed all the tape :D

I would have done the same thing if I was in your shoes! Always feel free to ask if you are unsure! I always get paranoid if one thing is off with my Ball Python as well. I am very happy that she is feeling better, and your snake is beautiful by the way! Good luck and take care!:D

Thank you so much! I'm getting a little better with actually reading her behaviour, but still almost every day I find myself looking for opinions on different things when it comes to ball pythons and health problems. It's my first snake, so it's a whole new experience for me, I'm trying to do everything as well as I can! <3 :D
