I know royals are known as ball pythons as they coil up when scared but i think Tilly is wierd. She never coils up she just runs lol. When i lift her hide up to get her out she sits their coils her neck like she is going to strike then legs it to the other hide. When i do get her out i was expecting her to coil up in my lap but no...She legs it again. Is this normal behaviour? |

My royal has only coiled up into a ball once, when he was in shed. I picked up the hide and he was coiled up so tight in a ball with his blue-eyed head in the middle. He's never done it in my hand or when I try to pick him up. |

Does he always try and leg it? Tilly seems really jumpy. |

No, he sits and waits for me to pick him up when in his rub. When out he sits still for a couple of minutes then slowly starts investigating  |

Princess has only balled up once, and that was when I had to move her while she was blue. When I get her out she normally sits still for a bit and then starts exploring. Feather on the other hand is very happy to curl up on me and have a sleep. |

Boo balls everytime, Stig couldn't care what happens, he just does his thing, Sabine does anything but ball up (unless deep in shed). |

I've only had my royal for a couple of weeks and she used to ball up in the first week everytime I lifted her hide to get her out, now she just sits there until I pick her up, I try to keep to a regular routine so it doesn't unduly stress her, once out after a couple of minutes she starts to get curious and investigate, I think this is normal :) |
