I have recently bought my very first ball python so I am hear looking for any and all advice I have done hours of research but still I wanna know more in my opinion a person can never have enough knowledge. ok, "he" is roughly 4 months old I bought him from my local petsmart on aug 23. they got the snake in aug 11. the feeding chart shows he ate f/t the first day he arrived and hasent ate since. I wanna switch him to live if I can. I had my terrarium which is a self made wooden terr. with plaxiglass sliding doors and a screen top most all the top is covered with tin foil (humidity purposes) I had it set up for two weeks before I got him. Temps: hot spot ~90, warm side ambient ~80-85, cool side ambient ~75 humidity is staying around 55%. temp sources: I have a termo/hygro on the warm side back wall, a thermo on cool side back wall, I have a acu-rite indoor/outdoor with humidity and probe the box is located directly in the center of the cool side with the probe directly in the basking spot. Substrate: is zoo-meds repti-bark for humidity purposes. their is currently 3 hides one on warn side one in middle and one on cool side. when I got him I handled him for awhile before I bought him their was no sign of fowl play, he was active and alert tounge flickering a lot while he was roaming about. when I got him home I put him in his new home he roamed for about 20 minutes till he found his hide located in the middle he crawled up in their and hasent came out yet I do not know if that is normal or not but unless he shows signs of hunger sooner I am going to try to feed him Tuesday. if their is something you want to know that I missed feel free to ask and once again I am looking for any and all advice, thank you.
