what kind of BP is this? I am so confused...

[Lolo76]

And i seriously do think you may have messed up his neck because i've never seen a ball python do this.......

I have actually seen Toby do that a few times, if you put him down a certain way (upside-down in a tucked ball) - but it's only a second before he straightens out. And to be fair, the OP did say the snake is a jerk... so maybe that's the only way to keep it from biting? Pretty looking BP, though!

1.) What the hell are the snakes doing on a dirty concrete floor in a group with rats?

2.) Why are you holding the snake like that???!!! Are you hurting it / choking it to the point where it has to open it mouth like that or does it normally hold it mouth open because of a severe respiratory infection, or mouth rot?

3.) Is there something wrong with its neck? the postion it is holding its head in looks there is something very wrong.

4.) It is a normal.

Also another thing to add to my original comment. How would you like it if your mom or wife cooked you food and through it on the floor and said "there dinner is served?"

I forgot to mention this part. "I got him from a friend who got him from a friend who got him from a dealer". NO wonder why the guy is so defensive and cranky.

When was the last time he actually got to settle down somewhere without being moved? He is probably really stressed out from all this moving. He needs a "Home Sweet Home".

Am I the only one who noticed the snake has granite markings? There's no clear shot of the back of its neck, though.
