Ball python twitching when I touch him

Snakes aren’t dogs smh I think your thoughtful behaviors are actually quite detrimental. Snakes don’t want to be pet/massaged. Petting a snake is only enjoyable for the human. It’s ok if the snake isn’t stressed but it’s not something that should be done often. If you want an affectionate animal invest in a pup imo I don’t mean to be rude but thinking a snake is wagging it’s tail bothers me. Colubrids will “wag” their tails but as a warning to be left alone. You might be handling him too much and he just wants peace and quiet.

If there is one thing a snake DOESN'T like it's being grabbed or restricted in any way. The snake appears to be in "flight mode" when you grab at him.. Also, if the snake were in pain you would probably be hissed at and then eventually struck at doing that over and over again... This clearly looks like a snake that is not happy about whats going on in my opinion.. I will support the sentiment that this is a snake not a cat or a dog.
