    Is He Stressed
    Okay, I've read and seen stressed ball pythons doing that thing where they crawl up to side of the glass in their tank like they are trying to escape. Do they do this even if they aren't stressed? Meeko has never done this before but today when I won't in to check on him he was. I got worried and checked all his stuff, his temps were good at 84 on the cold side 91 on the hot and 60% humidity. I took him out to hold him and looked around to see if maybe he pooped and was trying to get away from it but nothing. I'm actually holding him now and he doesn't seems stressed at all just chilling in my hand like normal. He just ate on Friday.

    Could he maybe have just wanted out or is there something I'm missing? I've heard snakes do this when they are stressed but I'm not sure why he would be stressed. Sorry if I'm just being paranoid he's just never done this before and I wanna make sure he happy.

    Thanks in advance

    I wouldn't worry as long as viv isn't too hot on the warm side and IS cool enough ..

    What kind of thermometer are you using ??

    Don't know the one specifically , has it a wired probe that can be placed under the warm hide , plus the cool side if you have two of them ... or is it a kinda standalone / stick on the side one.
