Hey guys wondering if you could help me sort this out. I have a wonderful 2y/o Ball who is always great about being held.
Yesterday however, when I walked in the room to feed her (she had eaten about 5 days ago so wasn't terribly hungry) I could tell she was having some sort of response that was atypical (hanging her head out of her hide looking pissed- or hungry). So then I did as usual, removed the hide and went in to pick her up....
Well her skin/body literally moved up so as not to be touched there as though she was in pain. I have had snakes tighten up, or flinch, but never move their muscles to get away from that one point of contact. It was as though she was using her muscles to get away from the touch but without actually moving her body. I tried petting her to let her know it was me and anywhere i pet her, her skin "crawled" and sort of moved in a way as to avoid the touch. She didnt look happy.
So simply fed her in her enclosure (usually i remove her to feed) and let her be. And all night/today so far she has been in her hide but with her head sticking out and up looking like "come by and ull be unhappy" lol. Any idea what this could be?
Could she be constipated? She hasn't defecated since her last feed. Any advice would be great thanks!
