Video Description
The Ball Python has the incredible and comical ability to roll itself into a literal ball! It’s so perfectly spherical that if it’s touched in this defensive pose, it can even roll along the floor. Younger ball pythons are more likely to feel afraid and defensive, so they’re most common to see in a ball shape, but even the larger bodied adults can strike this ball pose to protect their soft heads from predators! #Herpetology #herpetologia #ballpython #pythonregius
