    Ball python behavior

    My baby ball python used to come out at least once a day usually around 2pm and again around 9-10pm to roam his cage. Recently he stopped coming out from under his hide. I think it might be because he doesn't want me picking him up Has anyone else's bp done this? (I know it's perfectly normal bp behavior to always be hiding btw)

    Maybe I haven't really noticed changes in his eyes though. I'm going to check on him tomorrow so I should know for sure then.

    The process starts before they go into blue. I'd just keep an eye out and not worry too much. BP are funny creatures. They always keep you guessing.

    No. Keep it to the minimum necessary.
