Balling Ball Pythons Lol

right......do you actually own a ball python that actually balls????????
none of ours do!!!!

are they broke??!! lol

:rolleye2:

You got busted balls? Mine are to big for that. LOL No mine did when he was real young but not at all anymore

Most of my small ones will usually ball up if spooked. Some of my large one will half-ball up (protect their head), and I have one shy big girl that will ball up if I look at her wrong. :oops:

Mine seems to ball up if she's sleepy...which is nice when I'm weighing her...'cause I can just set the "ball" down on the scale and get a quick weight...but if she wakes up, she's constantly trying to slither off the scale tray and explore the shelf its on.

my small ones will but the bigger ones will only hide their head. If they even do that.

Almost all of mine ball up...

Heres one of mine in a ball. Pretty tight one too. This is when she was a bit younger.

Here's my favorite Kisasa-ball!

Looks like she's giving herself a big snuggly hug! :P

I went ahead and moved this to the bp forum.

I have a couple that will do the slight ball up, but most don't even bother. They're too busy trying to check out everything and go for a cruise.

when i first take mine out of the cage and he was sleepin, hes balled up, but he quickly comes around, and starts explorin. I'm lovin the kisasa balling up pix. too cute.

i have one little girl that does ball up when i pick her up, it's not a tight ball, but enough to make me wonder "where's your head?"

Not many of mine ball up anymore. I do have some 'baby' pictures of my ballers though. :D

My pastel male balls up; the others really don't. LaVey just tries to get away; he thinks he's wild. Ginger tries to eat you at first.. Bela hides her head but doesn't ball her body; like an ostritch w/ its head in the sand. The new het, I am not sure; trying not to disturb him too much.
You could be "proper" and call them "Royal Pythons" as per their Latin name.. and who could say they are Not royal?

I have two that consistently ball, one an '06 and one an '05. They are my favorites to photograph (because they aren't crawling away).

its official then.....my balls are broke lol

not one of ours balls up!

so i`ll stick to calling them royals lol

some great pics!!

hopefully when ours hatch...some of them will ball up and i`ll be happy :rolleyes:

My super shy girl will sometimes pull a loose ball, but she's the only one. Everybody else is too big or is otherwise interested in exploring.
