Re: Stressed Python Question?
Looks like an 08.
I would not be worried about having an active snake. If all conditions are being met, then you have nothing to worry about.
I assume you have an UTH and have the right temps / humidity?

Well first of all, that does not look like an 08. Most likely an 09.
Your snake is stressed. You need two identical tight fitting hides. One for the cool side and one for the warm side. Half log hides do not provide enough security for ball pythons.

Re: Stressed Python Question?
look at the care sheet and mimick it. Very very good information. Also since you have a viv...you also might want to put something around the 3 sides of it to make him feel more secure. If you have a UTH...make sure that you have a thermostat controlling it. This is super important as some places will tell you that you will not need it. YOU DO!!
Like Kaorte stated...it looks like an 09 to me as well. If he is stressed still after your changes with 2 hides etc. you might also want to add more plants or something to fill up the tank. Also make sure you don't leave that light on all the time. They don't need it.
OK one more thing.....how often are you feeding him? He could just be hungry as well. Also balls are more active at night and tend to be in hides all day long.
Hope this helps!!

It very well may be an 09. I can't tell how large that tank is. I assumed it was larger.....
