I got a two month old ball python on 11/20/2010. I'm not sure if this is unusual or not, but he never goes up the tree limbs I have for him. Obviously, the basking light sits right above the limbs, so I thought he would use it more often. Also, I have never seen him, or any sign of him, going into the water/soaking bowl.
I may just be over-analyzing the situation and need to wait to learn his behaviors. However, any advice is welcomed. I have listed a URL below of an image of his set-up.
