    I doubt she got sick from the mouse, mice smell really bad to begin with....

    How long have you had her? Has anything changed in the enclosure? Have you always fed her in an ice cream container? How are her temps and humidity in the enclosure? Can you describe the type of enclosure in detail?

    I have her in a 40 gallon with another bp I've had them for about a year maybe a little less, nothing has really changed in her enclosure the humidity is at 70 the temp aroud 95. This is probably the third time ice fed her in that container. I've never seen her act like that so i thought it was wierd.

    Well, first off, you REALLY SHOULDN'T have more than 1 BP per enclosure, that will stress them out. Also, 95 is kinda hot, specially if they don't have a cool side

    Agreed, they both definitely should have their own enclosures. Ball pythons aren't exactly the social type of snakes. They stress out and compete to the hot spot. I'd also look over this caresheet, 95 is too hot.
