Hello! I'm pretty new to these forums so I'm not sure how everything works :)
I recently purchased a 6 month old ball python from a reptile expo hosted down here in October. Within the last two weeks she has become oddly very active and I'm worried she is feeling stressed or perhaps something is wrong.
She is being held in a 40 gallon tank with a three hides. Two being on the hot side of the tank (around 89 degrees Fahrenheit) and the other being on the cool side. Her bedding is the Aspen Snake Bedding from ZooMed and she has a big water bowl that she can soak in if she needs to.
In regards to her eating schedule my ball python eats once a week. She ate last Monday and I'm going to feed her again soon. I'm currently feeding her small mice since they are about the same size as the biggest part of her stomach.
The humidity in her tank usually sits round 50-53%. Her tank is in my room which is always quiet and there isn't any foot traffic other than when I interact with her or clean the bedding.
She is a very sweet ball python and has never acted aggressive towards me. When I got her I seen she was a little active but now she is constantly roaming. She will sleep in her hides but whenever she is awake she roams the tank throughout the night and now even during the mornings.
Perhaps I'm a little paranoid but I want to give her the best home and since this is my first snake and I just need a little advice!
Thank you!
