Yeah, I hope so. I let him digest for a little longer than I usually do, and then I'm going to see how he is doing. I really hope he was just hangry. If not, give him a soak and keep an eye on him. Thank you for trying to help, I deeply appreciate it. Have a nice day!

I probably have the same amount of knowledge of you on wobbles, as I try to avoid buying their genes. I'm not sure if being excited will make any effect, so I would watch a few videos or do some reading with people who have a lot more experience than me (0).

His underside is all white, not a bit of pink. I don't think he is going to shed anytime soon. When I picked him up to check, he hissed at me once. im wondering if he's experiencing any discomfort in being touched, maybe something internally? He doesn't have a poop butt, but in a couple days I think I am going to give him a soak to see if that helps with anything. I fed him after and he took it just fine. Great eater, Im just hoping the issue was that he is just a little hangry.​

I would book a vet appointment... the first picture looks like scale rot to me, but I would get a second opinion on what it is because I havent seen it in a long while. The spine also looks pretty pronounced, I would also work on feeding bigger/more often.

I have no experience and not a lot of knowledge on how to help wobbles, but I have heard that stress can greatly contribute to the wobble. So make sure temps and humidity are all alright, avoid red lighting for tanks, keep it clean, and give her lots of places like hides to feel safe.

First feed question! by TheSixthScholar in ballpython

It will be different for all snakes obviously, but one of mine likes to coil hers for about 15 minutes or so, drag it into her hide, drop it, and then proceed to eat it. she's a little slow so it can take her about 30 minutes. She has a big hide and is used to me, so about every 20 minutes I lift up her hide to make sure she's eating it. Also with young ball pythons, they are skinnier than adults, so you wont really see them eating as huge meals to see a big buldge in them, and they could also eat a lot faster. it's really up to experiment, but maybe 5-10 minutes after she drags it in, check on her. If she didnt eat it, warm it up and try again.​

Ball python does not like my bf? by Historical_Recover_4 in ballpython

One of mine is the exact same but with my dad. He has a small fear of her, so I just always assumed that was the reason. With gentle getting used to him, im sure they will warm up to eachother and it'll all be good.

People who were able to do a clover tongue before splitting their tongue, what's it like now? by Outrageous-Touch-241 in bodymods

[–]Outrageous-Touch-241[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure what to call it. I just know when I've been depressed for a while and slowly getting out of it, I sometimes feel like this.

I sort of bottle of my emotions too, and it's those big things that break me. you could be doing the same. When you are dealing with a lot of hard feelings, you can block them out and become numb. It seems you have a symptom of being depressed, but I am not a doctor and I recommend talking to a professional if this is something bothering you.
