    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi,

My first time posting so hello to everyone.

Im having a problem with my ball python. She is wrapped up around a piece of her enclosure that is screwed into the wall and shes so strong i cant unwrap her. I need to get this done as its her time of the week to feed, but anytime i reach in there she coils back and it looks like shes getting ready to strike. This is the first time shes done this and i handle her almost everyday.

Any ideas on how to get her out? Anything is appreciated. Thanks.

You can wait until she decides to slither around/ hunt in her enclosure (usually at night).

If she is really holding on, you probably shouldn't try to force her off, because one, she will cling tighter while getting a bit more upset with you and two you don't want to hurt her.
 
Whenever you want to unwrap a python, start at the tail. Starting from the head will usually get you nowhere. :) But do be careful if she's wrapped tightly; don't want to hurt her.

If she looks like she's going to strike, I use some random object to touch them on the head so they don't bite at me.
