He began by saying "As others have said", meaning he's in agreement with what others have said.. His message in essence is correct. If you have an active ball python, that's probably not a good sign. Ball Pythons are not active. Hiding ball pythons are happy ball pythons. These statements are all generally correct. He probably did not expand because he mentioned "As others have said". We already informed OP that they are active at night, and activity during the day can indicate stress. So why just repeat what everyone has said and have 5 drawn out responses all saying the same exact thing? From how I see it, his post is exactly what it looks like unless you're reading in-between lines for some unexplainable reasons, he was just reinforcing what others have already said.
