On Sunday, I got my first ball python, a young enchi male (not a baby, but not very old, either). I've only had Cali Kings before this, who have always been pretty chill about, well, life in general. My new guy, Chaz, is *really* stressed out, though. I have him in a 20L terrarium, and the first evening the humidity was a little low, so on I placed a towel over the screen in addition to misting. Now the warm side is 90, cool side 79, with a regular humidity of 56%. His heat lamp is a red bulb so as not to overly irritate him with too much light. I placed two hides on either side, a very small one (since I'd heard they like hides they can barely fit in) and a medium sized one on each end so he could have his pick of sizes. Today I covered three of the four terrarium sides with foam board, both to better insulate the glass cage and to try and calm his nerves. I'm considering covering the front, too, since I'm sure he's used to living in a rack (I got him at a reptile show). I haven't touched him or tried to get him out during this time. Basically, he will not stop moving around and trying to get out and I know this means he's anxious, which worries me. He climbs up his little tree and across a paper towel roll I have hanging from the top and tries to push his way out (the screen is locked on) and he constantly checks out the glass like he's praying that this time his magical tongue will make it disappear, LOL. I have seen him enter a hide only one time, for about half an hour, then he was out and about again--and that is the ONLY time he's gone into a hide. I know this means he's stressed, but am I just being a worry wart? After all, it's only been two and a half days. Does he just need more time to relax, or is there something else I can do to make him happier in his new home?
