Can bp's have IBD?Star-gazing is a sign of it.(THIS IS FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD,I AM NOT AN EXPERT)He looks pretty good.I advise you to ditch the stick-on thermometer and hydrometer and get an AccuRite digital thermometer/hydrometer combo for $15.Those stick-ons can be off by 20!
P.S:Welcome to the site!

Yea, they can have IBD, and I wouldn't be bragging about the start gazing, cus it is a sign of it.

Welcome to the site! Your new baby is a cutie!! You are correct, they are known as Royal Pythons, but here in America we favor Ball Python for obvious reasons ( as you pointed out in your pictures).
Some info. on the analog thermoms and hygros, they are known to be highly inaccurate. A digital w/a probe works best. As Shaun mentioned, Wal-mart carrys a thermom/hygro digital combo for $15. Also, Do you have 2 hides (one on the warm side and one on the cooler side)? I didn't see any in the pictures. BP's tend to be shy, they like to have a place they can go and escape--or hide if you will.
Yes, BP's can have IBD as they are boids. For more info, Go Here

That snake doesnt look like its stargazing, it looks like its just exploring
And it isnt doing th "ball" thing either, its just curled up.
When they are balled up they are balled up very tight and you cant see thier heads.

Is Ruby too fat ?
He Has 1 Log on the Cool Side, and fits under the climbing log/plant on the Warm Side. I picked up an Infrared Thermometer to use when actually trying to adjust his temp. The stick-on guys are there to provide a "visable at 3-feet" relative indicator.
As for Stargazing... The articles I've read say that actual stargazing is when the snake remains straight up for long periods of time. This little guy just snoops up to the corner of the tank, gets bored and goes off to do something else.

Yes, ive seen them stargazing they just stay there and are totally zoned out with thier head up in the air, very sad, ive seen it at some petstores.
Roxy used to put her neck/head up against the glass for awhile and like you said, then they will go off and do somthing else.
