My python also has her "herp derp" moments from time to time too.
Same. I gave my pewter female a fuzzy today and she struck and killed it.... then she set her head on her coils with the dead fuzzy in her coils.

For like.

Thirty minutes.

Then she uncoiled, but ignored the fuzzy. I grabbed the fuzzy tail with the feeding tongs and her head whipped back toward it and she was following it like "hey, that's mine, what are you doing with it?!" I held it near her head and she slowly opened up her jaws and put them around the fuzzy's nose.

I dropped the fuzzy and she resumed eating like normal.

Ball pythons are strange...
