This is my second thread topic ever. I am still getting used to keeping a ball python.
I just bought a Pastel ball yesterday from the local Petco. It was $150. They received it the day prior. He weighs only 62 grams. I tried to feed it a f/t fuzzy mouse but it WAS NOT into it. I seemed very scared of it. He is extremely head shy. I also notice that he does not wrap around my hand very well. Sort of seem lazy or whatnot. BUT..he does move around a lot when I have him on my arm/hand. He slept in is enclosure but not in one of the hides.
I bought a bigger ball (normal) about 2 weeks prior and it is doing great. Just shed. Eats regulary..including 2 adult f/t mice today. I hope I didn't over feed him. He is much more active than my younger/smaller one. I hope I didn't buy a dud.
Am I being paranoid or is this behavior normal for new/small balls?
