So I've had my ball python for about a year and when I bought him he was between 8mo-1yo and since I've had him he's been the sweetest little guy, explorative, curious, social and very calm. I've always fed him in his tank (30 gal breeder), I usually feed him anywhere between 2 large or 4 hopper mice or until I see a bulge in his abdomen as I've been recommended doing by the guy who bred at our local pet store. My problem is that there are days I'll go to remove his hide and I touch him, he looks at my hand the same way he does a mouse, when he does this I mist him to attempt to get him to ball up (usually works), but there are times he will instead of looking at my hand, just strike at a moments notice.
His tank consists of two hides, one with a waterbowl in it, a heating pad (with regulator) and some fake plants that are stuck to the glass, I also cover the top, rear and sides with a towel as to make him feel more secure.
