Hello! I'm new here at and this is my first ever thread! I have a a few questions.. Three days ago I bought a beautiful ball python and still don't know BP body language so I need help, my ball python seems to be pretty active around 6 AM and bumps into the glass enclosure a lot, and I read that its (probably) a sign of stress and I'm worried, He also began hissing at me even though the first two days he didn't? but he still didn't get used to me so I get why. also I bought a 14W heating Matt, is it too hot? I searched online and never found an answer.. can anyone give me tips how to bond with him faster and how to handle him in a way he likes? (ik snakes DON'T like being handled but I read that some owners said that their snakes like to be stroked/handled a certain way.. so yeah that's that)

With that said, I'd like to be friends with you all and thanks for Taking your time to read!
