I just recently got my ball python from a local pet store (I know I should of went through a breeder). I have a 30 gallon terrarium for him/her and I have 3 hides, temp gauge/controler, heat pad, heat lamp (I do live in Nebraska and it gets cold). I noticed my baby ball really doesn't go into the hides but on a rare occasion is that odd? It also really doesn't ball up like alot of ball pythons I've seen. Could something be wrong? I want to sex him/her but I kinda nervous on how I've heard you do it and I don't want to hurt my snake. Thanks for any comments and help anyone can provide.
