After an escape...

My Lesser was lost for a week, but the next day ate a nice sized moise and I figured all was good. Well ever since then he's been just staying in his hides...even when I take him out he'll eventually cruise around a little but always finds a hiding place and just stays there, where before he'd usually be goin everywhere he could. I know, Balls generally stay in their hides, well this just must be one active snake because he's spent hours regularly climbin and just running around his cage but now just stays in his hides. My question is whether or not you think his adventure out into the big, scary apartment has him a little shaken, or is it probably something else (no signs of shed comin, eatin, and poopin).

if he's eating okay I'd say its a good thing!

well he was quite a bit more active yesterday out of his cage, but while in there he's still stayin in his hides.

Going into a shed cycle maybe?

No signs of it, but did kinda spring it on me last time (no real eye clouding, or really anything last time). The only thing I remember from last time was his coloring was a bit faded, but he's bright and beautiful now........I dunno, I'll just wait it out a lil longer and see if he comes outta his funk.

Was probably hiding in the corner of the room when you and your significant other were goin at it late last night. Probably traumatized the dude...just sayin.




;)

if a ball python is hiding, things are probably JUST FINE.

A hiding ball python is a happy, content, relaxed, ball python.

could realize he is now in a happy and safe place.

I would say it's a good thing. They really shouldn't be out roaming all the time, it generally means they are looking for a safe place to hide. If he's eating and hiding, I would take it as a good sign.
