First off hello! I have a ball python that is 3ish years old and tonight I could hear her breathing for the first time and thought it was a little odd. I don't know a huge amt about snakes but I fell so in love with her when I met her and my friend had little to no intrest in her so she was not being fed offten enough and rarely being handled yet she is still very sweet. When I hold her she is active for a bit then cuddles up and just chills out on my chest. I'm not sure what info will help but just ask if I can tell you I will! =)

Thanks much
Michelle
