just thought id throw this out to you see what you think. my snakes been staying in her hind just about alll the time for id say last 2 weeks, ill handle her and seems fine. not as active but still ok, when i put her back. shell drink water and go back in the hide. she shed um.. friday, ate a small mouse saturday night, would have ate another but when she bite at it, she hit the tongs and i think it scared her. but still sticking to that same pattern. i just wanted to see what everyone might have though.

i cant say something is wrong.. just acting different. im not worried. just curious... she shed friday.. and ate saturday night... its just different for her to be in the hide alllll the time.. usally starting about 8pm shed start going around in her cage, and to a point seem like shed be watchin me.. for a couple weeks just been in the hind untill i take her out... as far as i can tell... and when i put her back in the cage she drinks some water and goes back to the hind... like i said im not worried she still ate saturday. i was just looking for input on y might be acting different. im new to ball pythons . i think they are great

its normal for ur BP to hide most of the time. its a good thing. if it is out all the time roaming around then u need to worry because something is stressing them out. i think u mean it is acting different cuz at first it was always out checking out its new home. now that its settled u should hardly ever see it. u r good on that part

was the shed 1 complete piece or did it come off in pieces and did any stay on? when ur feeding just try to feed one appropriate sized prey once every 5 or 7 days and let them go digest.

yeah im not worried i liked watching her moving around climbing on the branchs an all i wont be worried unless she starts losing weight or has signed of a ri. i had her at the vet to get her sexed and a check up. found out it was a female and he said everything looks fine right now very healthy and strong

sounds good to me. hiding and eating, sounds like a happy snake. just make sure humidity and temps are good and stay pretty consistent.

Also a sign of stress is moving around alot. If all they do is hide then that is perfect
