Soft - soft like a wet noodle, limp and without any muscle grabbing on to you, but still able to move herself around? Or just a little squishy?

I would worry about the wet noodle feeling, as that is not normal for a ball python, but if she's just a little squishy, or relaxed, that's not a big deal. The biggest thing is her muscle tone - is she holding on to you, gripping and crawling, or is she just...limp?

In any case, doublecheck all your husbandry, make sure temps are fine, etc, just in case. Y'never know!
