Slow snake?

Levine Jun 26, 2004 10:31 PM

I have had a ball python for a while now and he seems to be very mopey. All my other snakes are energetic and always trying to escape. My ball just sits in his hide box all day and occasionally comes out at night. Are they all like this?

Sounds like a completely normal ball python.

I can see why these traits in a snake are different from the norm...maybe thats why this snake is liked so much. I really love the energy and curiousity of corns...to each his own.
