Need Help!

My ball python I got from the pet store within the past two weeks today was out from his hiding spot and kind of twisted up in a pretzel almost and his head laying to the side a bit. I picked him up to check to see if he was ok and I'm not sure if he was trying to bite me or not. He had opened his mouth a bit and his nose kind of went against my hand but not a successful bite if he was trying. I set him back down and he went back to laying in a similar position. I'm not sure what's wrong or what to do.

Now's he's laying with his head upside down.

Humidity 40, temp around 95 but trying to cool it down a bit. 20 long aquarium with hood lighting, bulb 60 watt I think for day light, been turning the UVB light off to cool it down during the day (tank upstairs). Had UVB on by itself for a bit before this started, turned off UVB and turned on the regular light and he turned his head back the right way, but his nose is in the bedding (aspen). Tried posting picture but can't figure it out since it asks for a URL. I don't see any kind of mucous. Because of his position i'm having difficulty telling the breathing.

Does he have any hides? If you are only using light bulbs for heat, how are you warming the tank at night?

[moonwise11]

At night I have one of the infrared bulbs

Does he have any hides? Do you have a pic of your setup?

[moonwise11]

Hides? like hiding places? I have a pic but not sure how to post it since when I go to post a picture it asks for a URL.

What kind of heat. if your using bulb what wattage?

[moonwise11]

26 for UVB, 50 for one light and 60 for the other. (day and infrared)

you do not need a uvb so if someone sold you that they were taking your money, i would ditch the lights and get a UTH and a thermostat and cover some of the top of the cage to get that humidity up to 50-60%. post the pick buy putting it on photo bucket and then right clicking on the picture and copy url link and they past on here where it asks for the link. how are you measuring the humidity and temp? thermometers with probes or those terribly round ones?
