New Ball Python Keeps moving around
I recently bought a ball python and have had her for about a day, I woke up today and went to check on her today and she's been moving around a lot. She keeps moving towards the top of the tank. The person I bought her from said that they feed her on Thursday but she did not eat that Thursday(i bought her on a Saturday). Could she be hungry or is she just exploring? Should I try feeding her or since she's only been in the new environment for a day, should I give her more time to get used to the environment? All advice is welcome as I am a new owner, thank you.
Re: New Ball Python Keeps moving around
Sounds like she is exploring, but just to make sure check your temps. Make sure they are not too hot or cold. 90 hot side 80 cool side 80 ambient 50-60 humidity. If they are good then yes she is exploring.Do not feed her, or handle her for a week, let her explore and aclumateto her new home. Then nexthursday offer her the food she is used to, and before you handle her let her feed a few weeks. Then start short handling sessions. Hope this helps good luck.
Re: New Ball Python Keeps moving around
I second checking your temps , humidity and the way you are heating the enclosure. What type of hides are you offering?

New places new smells :) sounds normal to me especially after only being in a new place for a day.

For the hides I have two bowls that I cut holes into(one on cold and hot side) because I was told the hides I had were too big and she wouldn't feel comfortable in them. For heating I'm using a uth and the ambient temp is 82 and the humidity stays around 55

How are you controlling temps of the uth? What is the hot spot temp? What are you using to check temps? Where are you checking temps.
