Hello all, my ball python is a male and about 8 months old. He eats fine, and has never refused a live meal. He has never bit me or anyone else thats held him. I feed him every 8-12 days and he gobbles his food right up. he has this hallowed out log in his cage which he hangs out in. Its barely enough to cover him and he probably wont be able to fit in there in a few more months. All he does is hide in the log! I mean, this is 24 hours a day 7 days a week. He only reaches out to feed. Now, I am not sure if this is a problem or not but I do like to take him out and handle him maybe 2-3 times per week. Is this unhealthy, I mean I know they like to hide alot but this is a hell of alot. Also, I cannot grab him out of his log as it is a tight fit and he doesnt like to leave it. What can i do so that I can handle him more??

Many thanks
