Hi,



I just got a new ball python about 3 weeks ago and it is currently about 200g and feeding on frozen and thawed rat pups. He often bobs his head up and down like it is unsteady. He does this when he is in his cage sometimes and while I am holding him. It has progressively gotten better with age and I was just wondering if this is normal behavior or should I be concerned? He has shed once and crapped twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Jim
