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?

Post what his husbandry condition is.
Substrate type?
Hot Side Temps? Cold Side Temps?
Humidity?
etc.

I think it's fine, maybe double check your temps if you're that worried. He could be coming out and going back into the same hide while you're asleep. My new blood has been using the same hide for almost 3 weeks. If he's eating fine everything is probably good.

Have you checked to see if he is going into shed?

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

I was going to question shedding too. Mine hide out when they are about to go into shed.
