We recently purchased a baby female ball python.
-How frequently should they poop? We’ve had her for 2 weeks, she has eaten a total of 6 mice in that time (4 fuzzies and 2 of the next size up), and I can tell her tail is thicker at the end from it so I feel like she should poop soon? We gave her a short soak in a little warm water last night. My husband thinks she was a little underweight when we got her (Petsmart, sigh) so I wonder if that’s partly why?
-Is it normal for them to roam their enclosure at night after handling? She is very content when we hold her so she sits with my husband for about an hour. Afterwards we find she roams around her enclosure (40 gallon but has 3 hides, 2 large sticks and a plant as well as 2 water dishes so not super open). She will go to the top (almost like she wants out) as well as up and down her sticks, but it’s slow calm movements. The only time she does this is late evening (10ish) after she’s been out (she stays in hides all day).
