My normal female has been acting funny for a while now (1.5 months?). I thought it was stress but it's not getting any better and the husbandry is proper. Hot side 89-91 cool side 77-79, 3 hides, 50-60% humidity, etc.

Is it abnormal for a BP to apply sporadic, uneven pressure when being handled? She has always enjoyed twisting between my fingers, etc since I got her, but it's a little different now. Sometimes she will squeeze VERY hard and move her head in a jerky, almost wobbly or shaking way, and press it flat against my hand or finger and continue squeezing and pushing for no apparent reason. She usually pushes with her face head and neck. I'd say she's itching in some way almost but it's a very inconsistent behavior. The last couple of days I've found her clutching her wood log that also looked like itching and her hot hide flipped upside down. I'm not sure if she's writhing around in the hide and causing it to flip or what. It could possibly be time for an upgrade there.

I've run her through paper towels to check for mites and inspected every inch of her. She seems totally healthy otherwise. Last shed was literally 1 piece every scale. I see no gross scales or mites anywhere.

For some reason my gut tells me that I fried her brain when I first got her and didn't have my heat pad on a stat, but I'm hoping that's just me assuming the worst. Are these signs of that at all? She really is acting more neuro than sick. Nose and mouth are clean, no wheezing, etc. The only thing that would cause this kind of behavior seems like mites, but there are none?

So TL;DR my snake has jittery movements, wobbly type behavior sometimes, and when held can spontaneously vary the strength of her grip greatly. It also rubs its head and face firmly at sporadic intervals.

Is she scared, neuro, or other?
