It makes me more sad that she is so calm because that means either at some point she was greatly loved and handled daily, or she is an animal that has completely given up. Both are sad.

[@arleenebyers1563]

I agree it really breaks my heart

[@H0SANNA]

Ball pythons are known for having extremely docile attitudes

[@xmrpaintx1]

I dont think she has given up, maybe just a very well mannered snake, and obviously there treatment is helping greatly, maybe the snake equates them with feeling better andnnot being cold outside.

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

I agree, the majority of ball pythons are docile even right from the wild. I only have two female morph ball pythons, both valuable but not really intending to breed them. One can become a bit nippy at times but overall, they are calm. Both of mine eat frozen thawed also so no live feeds. I have a adult female Peruvian BCC true red tail boa also but she can become nasty a bit at times.

My older brother had a ball python that he loved like a son he took tyler everywhere he went and one day he crawled into his friends car and got stuck and died because he couldn't get him out his heart was so broken.

I bet she was going into a shed because her body was trying to fight against those ticks. She just sat there while you pulled them. She knew you were helping her and it probably felt amazing.

[@LivvyAlexW]

Legit!!!!!

[@99Etien]

That’s not how it works, also snakes are generally lethargic when they shed and/or are ill.

[@erzebet6977]

@@99Etien when snakes have wounds it will cause them to shed more often. It's part of the healing process and how their skin repairs itself. And lethargic or not if you're pinching and prodding at an animal they'll more than likely snap, and that's with pretty much every kind of animal. Snakes are incredibly intelligent, don't assume they can't figure out that they're being helped and not hurt.

[@caitlinbellinger4081]

@@erzebet6977 I rescued a black snake with a mangled back. She was so bad off no rehabs would take her in. She shed so many times in the beginning, to repair the damage, so you're absolutely right. It's two years later and now she just sheds normally and apart from a humpback, she's super healthy. Snakes really are amazing at surviving 😊

[@jolenechase4210]

I use Frontline spray on any new snake I get, its one of my quarantine rituals. I treat once right when I get it and once a week later, or after a shed whichever comes first, even if I dont see any mites on them. I have never had an issue with it. Just make sure you use gloves you don't want it on your skin. Spray the Frontline into your gloved hand and wipe the snake with it, a little goes a long way, just keep it away from the snakes head. I will say I was suggested to remove the water dish for a couple hours after putting the spray on so it drys fully, if any of it is still wet and the snake goes in the water there is a chance of the snake ingesting it. Keep up the awesome work, she is in great hands!!!!

[@jolenechase4210]

I had a mite problem about 8 years ago when I got my 3rd boa. I was fairly new to the hobby and didn't realize how important quarantining was. That was a nightmare! Now I have 11 boas and haven't seen a single mite in years!
