problem or normal?

Ok.....gurgling at times. My Samantha has done that when she was a little smaller and I FREAKED. I called the breeder to talk to him about that and it is a little normal. She is just empty and a little more farty than the others. Once you feed them.....it seems to go away. I have had this sound with her a few times.........but she is fine and has a HUGE feeding response. HUGE!!!!! Typically I see the poofyness right before the vent.....they will have this until they poo. We take ours out every Tues. which is 48 hours after they eat. We put blankets and towels down and let them crawl around for a couple of hours. We also do this on Wednesday as well. They always poo on the blanket by Wednesday. I personally think it is the moving around gets it worked out. After they go we let them cruize around off the blanket.

Being active is a sign of stress. While it is not necessarily a bad thing, just keep in mind that this doesn't mean he is "better" or "happy".

Your temps just seem to be all over the place. You should have a cool side and a warm side temperature gradient. Not a warm side, cool side, then a warm side again. You should also have two identical hides. One for the warm side and one for the cool side. In your other post it just looks like you have a bunch of wood and one hide. The wood is really unnecessary and will just be annoying to clean. Ball pythons are not active snakes and will spend 90% of their time in their hides.

the right side ses 80.3 ? so the temps go as follwed

left 90+
middle 85
right 80

so my temps are correct he has a hot side a middle and then a cold

i give him a middle since he has 1 hide and 85 is a good temp for him for the day for the night he is all over the cage

going to feed him since someone said there snake gets like mine when it is hungry and he did leave a dropping ... not the size of his last one but still he passed something

u only have one hide for him in ur pics. u need more than that.
