OK cool. So males tend to be more active, good to know. I do understand that "more" is a relative term and I shouldn't expect much necessarily.
I don't think I'd rearrange the cage often, but yeah I did read I need to leave the cage be until the snake is comfortable and eating.
Speaking of comfortable and eating. When should a separate feeding enclosure be introduced if I'm going to use one? I don't want to make my ball nervous, but I also don't want it to think that every time I open the cage door is feeding time. Or is it ok to just make sure I'm opening the cage enough times (once or twice a week at least?) to just handle the snake that I should be ok?
Kcl would you mind pointing me to pictures of this/these enclosure/s you're talking about? It/they sounds quite nice to me.
Also, another subject change, for the temperature probe(s) that go inside the cage, does it need to be secured down in anyway or should it be fine just going under the substrate?
