Ok, finally i got my first baby ball python two days ago, with the help from lots of people helping me with my temps from another thread here

So i thought would post a thread about his behaviour.

I have a exo terra fake cave wall background made out of foam (u know the ones) and at the top there is about a small inch long and 1 cm deep cut on each side, i think made by the previous owner. I use the fake wall to shorten the length of my cage.

I assumed that my baby ball would not get any where near the holes to the other side, but first time in his new cage he got straight up to one of the holes and was kinda just exploring around for a while, not actually going over. I then decided to show him his hot hide where he stayed almost all day and night (normal!) Then i woke at two times in the night to find him hanging around both different holes, proped like a tree boa!

Im not particulary worried as his temps are spot on, humidity good and he seems relaxed and not aggresive. But i thought that balls, especially babys would stay practically rooted to the ground, i know some adults do like to climb.

Shall i cover teh holes to stop him getting to the otehr side, although he doesnt seem to want to or let him carry on being a tree python

Just thought i would share with you, and wondered if you have any thoughts?

Thanks
