Hello,

I am new to owning a Ball Python and snakes in general. The lady I bought my snake from had a mixture of Pine bedding (on the bottom) and Aspen bedding (on top). I have heard several people tell me that Pine bedding is a no no. So today when I fed her I changed her substrate out for all aspen. When she got done feeding I put her back in her home and she did her normal laps then curled up in her warm corner outside of her hide. Is she just cold? Also the rat I gave her was a bit bigger than the last one, and the guy at the reptile store told me it would be ok. She ate it with no problems, but now I am worried.....but just because she isn't in her hide. Please forgive me for my ignorance, I just want to make sure that she has a happy and content life.

Thanks, BestyGirl
