Ball python stuck!!!

[Parcham79]

I don't know what to do, my bp is stuck inside the gap on his water dish. I dont know if i should pull hard or gently, but when I try and get him out he makes a strange whistling noise and sometimes hisses. PLEASE HELP

I would just leave it alone for a little bit and see if he comes out himself.

would it be possible to get a picture of what is going on? I'm having a hard time picturing this

are you sure that your snake is actually stuck? He looks like he has found a nice place to hide. He will probably hold onto it for dear life and will be a pain to get out. I would just leave him and see if he comes out in a day or so.

Looks comfy He looks like he's probably just hiding and as said, is holding on for dear life!!

not to minimize your concern but part of his body is already free in this picture...

[Parcham79]

OK thank you I was pretty sure he was stuck because the picture does look like it has a larger gap than in person i'm just not sure but I will give him time and see if he emerges. If he actually is still stuck in a couple of days, what should I do?

You'd be amazed what these guys can squeeze into. I highly doubt he's stuck. I think if he's not acting normally once it gets close to feeding time then I'd worry. I bet if you let a live hopper mouse loose in his enclosure he'd find a way out quick

Yes but the other side of the opening is narrower and his tail and upper body are what appear to be stuck.
