Ball Python Acting strange, Help please :(
Hi I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their BP suddenly acting "clumsy" or weird. My female ball is all of a sudden extremely tense, she doesn't even grip on if i'm holding her even though it seems like she tries. Normally I have her out with me and she just climbs up into my bun and chills but lately she hasn't been eating and now when I hold her it's like holding flopping fish. Her body is just so tense. I was thinking maybe she is stressed but aside from the newly found clumsiness she is acting totally normal. Doesn't appear to be sick, no mites making her uncomfortable, she doesn't even seem to be irritated. She isn't trying to escape or anything and I just can't figure it out. Perhaps i'm missing something I've only had her about 8 months (she is actually a rescue I found all burnt up on the sidewalk) but it is making me worry. It could very well be nothing to worry about but I just want to be sure. Thanks for taking the time to read this I feel silly but I just get worried.

Your best bet is take her to see a qualified Vet only then will you know what is wrong with her, the rest of us can only speculate. Call me at 408-981-6694 and let's talk about your set up.
