    Does a new ball that is extremely tame and very curious mean a comfy ball?

    I got a year old ball about 4 four days ago. From the first day she has roamed her cage at night and occasionally plays during the day. I have held her a few times and she is totally tame and friendly, I was wondering if this was a way to tell if she is ok with them move and her new home thanks.

    When a BP is out during the day a lot that means they are stressed out. Don't handle the snake for a few weeks, and if your temps and humidity are ok, she should settle down soon.

    Ball pythons are different from boas. (not sure if that was a typo in the title or not)

    Is this your first ball? If so you may want check out these links...

    It's very typical to allow at least a week to settle in, before handling. I also like to establish a good feeding routine as well.

    If you provide the correct enviroment (and be sure to measure temps digitally - no dials or strips ) you should be on the right track.
