My ball python has been displaying the exact same behaviour as the one in this video. He'll have the middle of his body sticking out of the hide in a loop with his head and tail hidden in the hide, and if touched, will push my hand aside or even try to slam my hand against the side of the enclosure with his body.
He might also make smooth, fast movements with his head to watch my hand and approach similar to the way the ball python in this video does toward the end (there is no risk of him striking or biting, but it definitely feels like a confrontational gesture). Like the ball python in the video, mine is also usually very calm and docile and this is unusual for him.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour in male ball pythons, and does it indicate they are in breeding mode as suggested in the video above, or could anything else cause this?
