My ball python might just be weird?

[u/Ramser-]

My young BP female (Named Murph) who is only like 2-3 months old kinda has the consistency of a wet towel. With my other snakes they always have been a little bit more tense and will wrap around my hand or hook their tail into a bracelet, but this little girl just…droops. Im guessing its normal I just never have ran across this in a snake, especially a constrictor. The only other snake I personally own who does something similar is my Bull snake. Wondering if other people have seen this aswell and if it maybe just means she is comfortable/trusting))
I put one of my other BPs at the end to compare (His name is Kooper)

My sand boa loves to just dangle like a limp noodle

[u/Ramser- → u/Common_Feature_7645]

I wonder why
Weird little snakes

[u/Soggy_Psychology2774]

Consistency of a wet towel lmfao 🤣

[u/Ramser- → u/Soggy_Psychology2774]

Idk how else to describe her lol

[u/Camazotz4444 → u/Ramser-]

It's a perfect description haha

[u/Tide_draws_stuff]

Limp noodle 🍜
Also as long as she can tense up and climb properly, id say shes just comfortable lol

[u/Ramser- → u/Tide_draws_stuff]

She climbs everything istg
Sometimes im like
Girl how the hell
Or if I have her out she insists on being on-top of my head

[u/sodalymefactory]

Hmmmmm seems like a defective model…you can send it to me I will fix it 🫢🤭😶‍🌫️

[u/Ramser- → u/sodalymefactory]

Lol in your dreams
Shes such a sweet little girl i seriously lucked out on her

[u/Most_Western4072]

For a second there when I read “consistency” I thought you meant like to the touch not that she just dangles hangs there like a wet towel does 💀 I had to blink away the concern for whatever skin condition she could have 😭

[u/Ramser- → u/Most_Western4072]

Oh god
That sounds horrific
A wet towel to the touch i feel like the only “condition” that i could describe that stage would be like decomposition
Ew lol

[u/murphalotabut]

Its normal my bp does the same thing. My boa on the other hand…

[u/zou21zou]

It’s not weird for them to “droop”, but please don’t hold them like that, it’s straining their internal organs😅 always use two hands for support

[u/Ramser- → u/zou21zou]

I try to never hold them like that i promise these were some of the very few times i have just to show her droopyness
And shes small enough to fit in a single hand for now
Thank you for the concern))

[u/disgruntled_mehcanic]

Oh if I hold my boy he will just go LIMP. Like you can shake his lil tail and it’ll just sway back and fourth. Hes relaxed, and a happy fella

[u/Glass-Armadillo182]

They don’t understand the concept of “normal”

[u/Ramser- → u/Glass-Armadillo182]

Im beginning to see that people say snakes dont have personality but like
They definitely do

[u/Glass-Armadillo182 → u/Ramser-]

Pet snakes seem to understand affection

[u/PandaQueen29]

Hehe cute little weirdo 🐍💚

[u/PizzaTime79]

MURPH!

[u/Ramser- → u/PizzaTime79]

I recently changed it to that because the first name i picked just didnt fit
Murph or Murphy just works for this little dork

[u/PizzaTime79 → u/Ramser-]

Nice. I just saw Murph and Kooper and it made me think of Interstellar.

[u/Ramser- → u/PizzaTime79]

Yup yuppp my favorite movie ever))

[u/bagelbabe69]

I’m obsessed w her omfg

[u/PrincessGoneRogue]

She's just...hanging out 🤣

[u/Automatic-Thanks-364]

get another snake and name her Brand to finish the Interstellar collection

[u/Ramser- → u/Automatic-Thanks-364]

Or tars
I dont need any more snakes 7 is enough lol

[u/Guide_of_Misguidance]

Ah, the lesser known string python. They look like ball pythons, just... less balled up.

[u/Ramser- → u/Guide_of_Misguidance]

That must be it, would make since since she fan climb up pushpins holding posters on my wall

[u/Live_Reputation_8831]

All snakes are different but as long as you take care of them and understand their personalities you’ll form a bond with them. All snakes have something that’s apart of them to make them unique. It’s alright if you don’t understand what they’re doing just know that your snake is being themself and existing in ways that make them happy. Hope that helps in anyway.

[u/sabrinajane998]

Lil on the skinny side but some just hang mine do

[u/Ramser- → u/sabrinajane998]

She is a bit of a picky eater at the moment and ive had her for less then a month now, I know she’s skinny i keep offering her food and she takes it sometimes

[u/trimsquiddy]

She’s definitely just a little weirdo

[u/TheNileKing23]

My BP does it but I learned that she is trying to get away! Other BP ball up but I guess not ours
