Ball python Very Active

Relax. You need to be more patient. The sectioned off enclosure looks good but I see she has found the cardboard

It is going to take about a week for her to get used to this new setup. Until then you just have to leave her alone. Eventually she will figure out that it is safe and relax.

I guess im a lucky one i own 4 balls right now 2 het axanthics that i bought 2 days ago at an expo. a pastel baby about 3 months old and an 8 month old normal and they all ate for me with in the first week, actually my hets took the first meal with me the day after i got them and handle very well. but if i was you i would try to make sure that you temps are right. did you get that dimmer and wire it up you can check youtube out on that. as a hide for my baby pastle i use a baby wipes container and i also have like 10 crumpled up things of news paper so he can move threw enclosure rfeeling secure as hes in a 28 QT. if i was you i would down size to liek a 15 qt tub with smaller hides

I got a male Bumble Bee on Thursday and had it in a temporary container until I could get a larger one, he is now in a 30gallon glass tank with a screen lid, I have news paper covering the bottom of the tank, he has a hide, heat pad and heat lamp(not on at the same time) and he has been very active all day long since I got him, in both tanks...he has a large water dish that he can fit in. Only chilled out when I covered most of the tank with a towel making it dark in the tank...any particular reason why he would chill out once it got dark in the tank? I do not know the actual temp as I need a new thermometer for his tank, but it's right next to my other 30 gallon tank with a normal female, her tank is around 85 and 90-93 on the hot side.
