    questions and concerns
    Hi guy, I just got my first ball python 1week ago, she’s an adult female. I think she never went to the bathroom. She has been very active for the past 3days, not hiding or just hide on the cold side. The hot spout is 90, cool side is 78, and air temp is between 75 to 82. Humidity is 65 to 75. The tube is 3 feet by 1 feet. I am using paper towel as substrate. Also, she has a scale problem, I don’t know how to post pictures. Thanks for any help

    How to post pictures: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures

    Ball pythons don't pee/poop on anyone's schedule other than their own. There are things you can do if you think she may be impacted, but you wouldn't really know that after just 1 week. When was the last time she ate? Why is your air temp fluctuating so much? Is she in shed cycle? If not, your humidity is too high -- lower to 50-60%.

    Many use the free Tapatalk app to post photos... and it’s perfectly normal for snakes to be extra active when they’re put in a new set up - in my experience
