Help: My Baby Python is not moving!
I purchased my baby Ball Python about a month ago.the first week, he didn't do much moving around and he didn't eat. After the first week, he was doing a lot of moving around in his tank, but mainly at night. But, for the past 3 days, he has not moved from the inside of his log. I know he is alive, I see him breathing, but he has not moved from that spot in three nights, tonight will be the forth night and I am really worried. Is this normal, or should i do something?

I was going to ask this, too.

This is assuming proper setup, more husbandry info would definitely help.
I also see you said his "log" if it's a half log type these aren't really recommended. 2 of the same size hides that are enclosed with an entrance that the snake will fit snugly in is recommended (ie. plastic bowl with entrance cut out).

My ball goes in his hide about 3 days before he goes into the blue stage and desn't come out once until he's ready to shed
