I've had my ball python for 6 (I think) weeks now. He's been pretty content to just sit in his hide all day for the first month or so, but in the past week I've noticed he just keeps going around his cage looking for a way out.
Temps are good, when I take him out he seems healthy (inquisitive, flicking his tongue), he's been eating every 7 days with no problem. I'm really confused.
His latest trick is he keeps climbing up the wall and getting on top of the thermometer I have in there. Is this normal or maybe signs of something?
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that there's no problem with my husbandry that I know of. I give him clean water every 2-3 days, change his bedding. Humidity is good, etc.
one more thing I can think of that might be an issue is I have a red infrared heat lamp to heat his cage because it gets cold in my room and the heat pad wasn't keeping the cage at a suitable temperature. I read that snakes don't mind red light, but is it worth it to switch to a ceramic bulb and see if that makes a difference?
