Hey Everyone! I just signed up with this site because
I had some recent concerns about my ball python.

I'm not quite sure on his age, however when I bought him I was told he was about a year old. Which was hard to believe considering his size. He was so tiny and even know hasn't grown much. He is 28 inches long. And I've had him for more than 6 months.

Anyways. Yesterday and today I observed something really strange after he drank water. Which he seems to drink water all the time. For extended periods at a time. Yesterday i glanced over at him and he was by his water dish opening and closing his mouth various times but at a diagonal angle.Five to 6 times at least. But also while he was doing this water spilled out of his mouth while his head was sideways and he was doing a chewing motion. I watched him again today and he did it again! I've never seen him do this which is why I'm concerned. Also after he drinks he always holds his head vertical for a couple mins.... is this normal?
