    Reading Ball Python language and Tongue Flicks

    I’m really interested in reading my snake. I’m a new owner and would like some info! Today we got my guy out for the second time this week. I took his hide off of him super slowly trying not to startle him as much. He was kind of in that “S” shape but didn’t strike me as I went in slowly underneath of him. Once out he doesn’t really ball up too much. He does hide his head a little bit and then quickly starts slithering around. I have heard that you really want long slow flicks of the tongue. Which in the beginning they’re pretty quick or non existent and then finally he started just moving around slowly flicking that tongue longer and slower. What does it mean when they don’t flick there tongue at all and not moving? Just scared? He has been doing this a lot In the beginning.
