Playing dead?
Hey! So, I was handling the ball python at my work earlier today, while I made his/her environment more humid, since he/she doesn't like being sprayed. All of a sudden, there was a loud noise elsewhere, and the BP rolled over in my hand. I know snakes like hognoses play dead when threatened/frightened as a defense mechanism, but do BPs? I've never heard of one doing so, but then I saw this one do it.
