This is my first snake, a male lesser I named Howard Schnellenberger. I got him a couple days ago but the owner said he had eaten so I left him be for a little while. He was hatched in march, not sure how much he weights but I'll be picking up a scale though in the next couple weeks. Couple things I'd like to know though. He's real skidish whenever I get into his tub or barely touch him, very quick movements with his head. Any ideas? I was thinking it's either him just adjusting to his new home or his age, I know younger balls can be like that. also, he literally hasn't left his hide at all. Now I know these arnt display snakes and the're called pet rocks and all that stuff (why I got a tub instead of something else)but he never leaves, even at night. All the Temps are right, 89 or 90 on the hot spot and 80ish on the other side, humidity is a little high at 65 but I think he might be going into shed.
