Uhhh?!? Somebody please help!

I have discovered one thing from owning ball pythons. If I watched their every moment, I'd go stark raving mad thinking they were dying. They do weird things, sometimes just to scare the crud out of you I think. Ask how many people have found their snake sleeping partially or completely upside down. Or contorted into the craziest positions imaginable. The heavy breathing thing they just do sometimes. Frequently I catch one of mine doing it if I startle them out of a deep sleep, maybe they are having a nightmare? I can't tell you how many times one of mine has made my heart stop, only to be perfectly fine a few seconds later. I swear mine are responsible for most of my grey hair. Just check in on her now and then, and try not to freak yourself out too badly.

Thank you for calming my nerves! I was shaking there for a good 10 minutes after all of this happened, just thinking that my girl had indeed died.
I also started to reconsider if I really want to get more of these guys or try breeding in the future. If I can barely handle my ONE BP acting this way, I don't even know what I'd do if I had a baby hatch out only to die in a few days time or any of my snakes dying, for that matter. I'd probably cry for days and not know what to do with myself. I'm bad at detaching myself from these kinds of things..
