New Ball Python Strange Undulation

[MariaLHodge]

He hasn't eaten at all yet. I tried but he didn't want it. I have a friend who has 3 and said she'd give it a couple days then handle them a few minutes a day in a quiet environment, so that's what I've done. He seems to be comfortable, but I could be wrong

Also, in the future, if he does this (which is a normal thing) and it's been about 3 or so days after you fed him....he could be getting ready to give you a nice stinky gift!...I have been crapped on three times now and get gun shy whenever my BPs make this type of motion...hehehehe

Actually he ate about 10 days ago. We did get him a mouse but he wasn't interested at all.... The vet said to give him another 5-8 days....

When was his last feed ?? Could he be trying to regurgitate ??

Other then that, BP's have been known to do some strange things

Ever seen a BP on a tempurpedic mattress lol

In the meantime, don't handle him except for cleaning necessities so he can get comfortable. Double-check your husbandry against the caresheet on this site to make sure there isn't anything in his environment that could be causing stress and keeping him from eating. I don't handle mine until they've eaten at least twice with me.
