Has he been eating on a regular basis ? Does he or can he soak in his water dish? I ask because dehydration can be a real issue.

If your concerned that's a good thing it means your paying Attention to your Baby They are all babies to me no matter what their age is lol Keep a close eye on your Ball if he eats and is drinking thats good me I would soak him in a Sterile tub not to deep on the water.

What kind of substrate are you using. Ball pythons do like high humidity but it's also important that they be allowed to dry out. Is it possible that you're keeping the cage too wet?
