    But you mentioned when you go to pick him up he feels limp in your hand and doesn't tense up that's a bit unusual for a snake
    What morph is he?

    One of mine isn't active at all, though I sometimes wish she was. :oops:

    He’s just been switched to small rats. Feed once a week.
    I currently don’t have scales that he’ll fit in, looking to get one soon, he’s outgrew the one I have now. But he’s definitely gained weight since the beginning of December.

    One more question about my original post about him being ‘limp’ or squishy when picking him up.
    Should I be concerned about that at all?

    *Late replying it was about 5am here (UK) when I sent the first post. Don’t know if you’re in the US or not.

    Was told citrus pastel coral glow. But might be different.

    Could be I'm not the best with morphs
    The reason I asked is because some of the spider morphs have neurological problems

    Ye I’ve read about them some have a head wobble or something.

    So do you reckon this is anything worth concerning myself with?

    If you can do a video of it the next time he does it and post it I think that would be very helpful

    Do you mean picking him up? (limp)
    He doesn’t have a head wobble or anything.

    No, it is normal for a docile snake to be "limp" or relaxed when being picked up, as long as their head is not limp.

    Only very nervous snakes would tense up or wrap themselves into a ball.
