My female ball python will vibrate from time to time when I am holding her. Why is she vibrating. I would like any help that is available.

Does she have any mucus in her mouth? A snake with a respiratory infection may feel like it's vibrating when it's difficult for them to breath.

ive read those are tremors and might be associated with IBD (inclusion body disease)that is passed on from other snakes and can/will kill yours.

Those it also spend too much time staring at the roof of the cage? or yawning? those are other symptoms of IBD.
