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.

Ball Python Neurological Problems?
One of my balls, a two year old CB female is exibiting some odd behaviors. She has never been a very outgoing exploritive snake. But we have been watching her lately and she has some wierd behaviors. She likes to rub her nose on everything even when shes not in a shed cycle and she also likes to corkscrew and tie her self into knots. its a constant behavior.
We have also been haivng problems with the other balls missing there strikes a lot.
Obviously worried about a contagious disease but could she just have a mental problem?

This may just be a neurological problem. This has been seen in other Ball Pythons before.
Has she just been exhibiting these behaviors, or is this an ongoing thing?

Have you added any new additions to your collection within the last month? If so, what are your quarantine procedures?

Vet.
Nobody- and I do mean nobody... can diagnose an animal sight unseen based on a highly subjective description of sypmtoms as posted on a message board. Anyone who'd be qualified to offer a worthwhile opinion about an animal's potential health issues is responsible enough to know that they can't do it like that. There are many potential causes for a given symptom and without seeing it, live and in person, it's not something anyone can nail down properly.
Anyone willing to try is either irresponsible or completely unqualified to offer an opinion to begin with. Or generally a little of both.

If she is twisting.. it warrants a vet visit!!! that is my thoughts. WHAT IF??
It could just be a fluke with her, but what if it is something more serious like IBD?
(no I am not saying this is what it is, just that there is a possibility that it could be serious)
I would take it to a DIFFERENT vet. 80$ is high, so call around.
But take her in!
