Hi i'm jeremy. i've had my ball python for a few months. His name is Simon Ssssnake now from what i can tell he is very happy, healthy, and active.

He is in a nice sized aquarium (not overly big), nicely heated (well misted), undisturbed (he is single), and in an area lit by red christmas lights. He has a big water bowl to lay in if he wants and he lives inside a spacious basket turned upside down with peeking holes so he can poke his head out

i have noticed that from time to time i will hear what sounds like a small hiss coming from his cage. It is really random and usually at night when i am on my comp. Noone is allowed to touch him or bother him. He lives a very peaceful life. It doesnt happen often but I have heard it enough in the last few months to ask because i think i know him pretty well. He responds to the vibrations in my voice and comes out to meet me He is not being bothered or aggravated by anyone or anything.

i know i have read 10,000 articles saying that snakes hiss when they are aggravated but that simply does not apply to me. so i'm hoping that sometimes snakes just hiss cause they are snakes HAHA.
