Ralph says 'Hello!'

Sorry to everyone if i sound like a jerk.. i was upset earlier.

He started exhibiting these things on the 2 day i had him which was yesterday

When i picked him out he was the healthiest from what i could see

From what I gather if this behavior is a new development, then he's not a spinner. However I would be worried about your snake having IBD. IBD is known for making snakes act in an odd manor before death. However I'll let someone with more experience in the matter take the possibility of IBD from here.

It quite possibly could be IBD as well... what is IBD? he is acting so odd... i opened his cage to make him a tight crevice so he can feel secure... he was in a small bin so i could get into his cage and when i went to pick him up he striked at me but it was so slow... he tried to bite me in this manner about 3 times (without succeeding)

:/

I'm very saddened to inform you all that ralph passed away tonight

RIP Ralph.... you were a short lived friend but a friend indeed.

thanks for the help guys... talk to you later....

I personally would take Ralph to the vet to have a necropsy performed to see if it was in fact IBD.

RIP Ralph, it's a sad day whenever a ball python passes away.

im nearly crying, :( sorry to hear it m8.. you tried ur hardest to make him surcure but. unfortunaty life is means and cruel sometimes... hopefully you will get another from a decent petstore and this one can be treated well and serve a good lifw with u..

RIP RALPH/RAPHETTE

Awww Matt, I'm so sorry to hear. :(

I do agree with Ben on getting a necropsy done on him. That way you will be able to know if he did indeed have IBD or another issue that caused him to die that sudden.

:( Poor guy!

Yeah... i will look into the necropsy for him

I learned a lesson... buy from breeders! that can actually give me info and are helpful
