Hello everyone,
My 10-yo ball python is showing worrying behavior. For the last two days, he's been spending the night in its water bowl, with only his head out of the water. The rest of the day he is in the hide on the warm side of the enclosure.
I know this is usually a sign of parasites / mites, and I checked the snake's body thoroughly and did not notice anything unusual. Also, no sign of an upcoming shed.
I use paper towels in my enclosure and I change them as soon as they're dirty, temps are normal (32°C on warm side, 26-28°C on cool side) and my humidity is around 50%.
Also, he's been refusing the pray I offered for about two and a half months now (I usually give small rats, about once every 10 days). I know this is nothing to be really worried about as they sometimes go on long fasting, but now I'm starting to worry.
Any clues? Thank you for your help.
