Do your ball pythons still ball?

Out of my five, this one is the only one that's afraid of his own shadow. It definitely has to do with his spider gene.

Mine sometimes will when I pick her up but she usually unwinds after a little while.

My adult male will still hide his head if something kinda spooks him..I would rather he do that than bite...LOL

I think the spider gene may influence the behavior, but my spiders never ball up and aren't head shy.

mine stop balling after a few months.....

Yeah what the heck my bee is a baller for sure. But only when surprised or shoked. Covers head when I walk to close to walls . I sY its a good safety. She is only 8 months but that lil head is her only soft spot. Good job sweet bee keep protecting that purdy face so all the boys will lock with u lolz

My champagne male is just under 1000g and balls right him. He does relax and explore after a while, but this is pretty normal:

Mine only balls up in its hide. Other than that... Never does anymore.

My adults don't ball up. Only babies.
But I wish everyone balled up! It would make taking photos so much easier.

That's about where I am, yup!

Damn snakes, moving around ;-) Even not balling up, though, the BP are 200% easier than the colubrids.
