Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Is Something Wrong With My Ball Python?
Right now I'm holding my youngest bp and he's acting all calm. Which is weird since all he does is want to explore but today he's just rolled up in a ball and he layed his head on my hand and is just acting weird. Is he sick or something? I was thinking that he's like this because this past week I'm kind of moody and I'm really sick. Maybe it's the weather? Does any one know whats happening to him?!

Sounds like he is just acting like a normal ball python. Even though sometimes when they are nice and warm they will get out and cruise around sometimes they just want to ball up and chill. I wouldn't suspect anything wrong unless he starts rolling on his back or doing way out of the blue things. But being balled up is not out of the ordinary. But good luck.

I guess but still... he has NEVER acted like this. I just put him in his cage and it's been 30 min and he hasn't moved at all.

Don't worry too much. Just keep watching him to see if he starts getting any visible symptoms if you think he is sick.
It does, however, just sound like he may be just a tad stressed?
Have you been taking him out more frequently?

I haven't been taking him out more.... I'm usually with him 5-10 min almost every day. It's always been like that.

Well, then, just watch him closer to see if there are any other behavioral differences.

Might be... but I would have noticed this in his last shed. He stopped being like this. But it was definitely weird.

It really could have been a million things. Something could have scared him. A cat, dog, bird, car backfiring, earthquake, weird weather change, oncoming shed, belly ache, gut gas, new smell etc... a million tiny things that we would not think of, but may affect other critters.
