    Coiled on Side, What is she doing?

    I've caught my female Stinger on her side a couple times now and I am not sure what to make of it. She did have a small burn on her belly (2 sheds since) but I took her to the vet and she didn't seem too worried about it... anyways that's all cleared up now. I'm still new to BP keeping so I am just seeking info on if I should be worried or if this is normal behavior.


    She only eats live mice (6-7 per week over 2 feedings), about 1250 grams and isn't going into shed that I can tell. Currently in a rack with four other snakes.

    Just being goofy. Balls do that some times. Especially spiders.

    Good to know, Thanks! I feel like a first time father, worried anything could happen. I want to try my hand at breeding this fall so I want everything perfect.

    I am not seeing anything abnormal.
