Cute

I remember when my pastel used to ball up, he stopped once I got him settled in and comfortable in his new home...

ya she was in her hide like that, lol .. it amazes me how shy my 3 balls are until to get a scent of mice in there.. that animal killer instinct is crazy

Very cute... I love when they do that. I have a few who still ball up constantly, even though I've had them for quite a while - others never ball up, so I guess they're just the confident snakes.
