Reflection

[Chilli lover]

Well I've had my Bp for about a week and she it doing ok but she always acts like she lookin in her reflection and rubing the glass and I didn't think any thing of it and thought it was because she had a stuck eye cap but now it is starting to concerne me should I block the other 3 sides of the tank with something or what

Have you fed her yet? Mine become restless like that when they are hungry. Ball pythons don't have very good eyesight and I doubt that they could recognize themselves in the glass. What are your temps, humidity and tank setup like? Pics of that stuff could help us figure the problem out. Best thing to remember is a hiding ball is a happy ball so you are right to be a bit concerned about this behaviour. Sure we can figure it out.

Covering three sides of her tank sounds great, it will help her feel more secure.

Ya I fed her a properly sized rat Thursday and I probably shouldn't have said always because most if the day she hides and most of the night but when she does come out she is always bumping into the glass and tubing it and I was concerned.will post pics if setup soon but temps are 86/87 hot side and 80 cool side and will test humidity when I take pics when I'm home and she's in a 55 gallon tank
