    Re: Strength & Balance

    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.
    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.

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

    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.
