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.
