Ball python does not ball up?
My ball python never balls up... Only after he has just eaten. Other than that, he just falls out of his hide, and he's not in a 'ball' at all, just lazily spread around. How come he doesn't do what ball pythons do, and 'ball' up?

Some are like that and thats how they are. Once most balls get older as adults will hardly ever ball up.

That's a good thing, then. The balling behavior is a defensive technique. They ball up and protect their head. If they are not balling up, they do not feel threatened.
1.3 ball pythons (albino, het albino, pastel, lesser)
1.4 leopard geckos (reverse stripe tremper albino, tangerine, carrot tail, snake eyed, patternless)
0.1.4 corns (snow, classic, amel, stripe, ghost stripe)
0.0.1 pueblan milksnake

Re: Ball python does not ball up?
Yeah, my ball python has yet to ball up too, and my boyfriend's ball python that he's had for three years has never balled up either. It depends on the individual.

That was one of the reasons I chose my YB Yidhra. Of all the BPs I took a closer look at the show, she was the only one who did not ball up. She actually hasn't balled up at all, preferring to try and explore when she is out!

Bones balled up all the time when I first got him. He doesn't do it anymore. I kind of miss it because it's cute.
