Ball python spazzing out during the day

[Bogertophis]

Well a little bit of enlightenment, in my own personal experience using tanks with paper towels. I have had quite a few snakes that weren’t crazy for the feel of moss being added to their hides/tanks. Just FYI. I too personally think some people sometimes are beyond help and have already decided, but to be so bold about the snake not liking the texture of an object? I seen snakes of all kinds react from everything from different substrate to hair. Just my two cents on a train already off the tracks. Peace ✌️

I agree, snakes may object to the texture or smell of stuff, for sure. I don't think what the OP was using was a recent change though I might be wrong about that, I'd have to re-read? If the snake had been using the same stuff (hide+) for a while, I only meant that it didn't seem like it would suddenly "spaz" over that now.

I thought I'd jump in here if nobody minds,

We really don't want people to feel they cannot share, or ask for advice, because they feel they will be attacked.

If there is a question, or opinion, you are worried about sharing, please be aware you can PM any member of staff for advice.

Like any other member we may not agree - but we will respond with respect ( like the vast majority of our regular members I have to say ).

I feel this doesn't really need to be said but I worry occasionally.
