I am new to owning ball pythons, but I have researched the care and keeping of them for over a year now. I finally recently got my first BP from a guy that has several healthy snakes. He's a little over 2 years old, healthy size and weight, and I've had him for a week now. Right away, he had a very good shed and I have been trying to stabilize the the temp and humidity so he's comfortable. He didn't eat last weekend, but I know that's not a huge deal because he did just move somewhere new.
Just barely he was frozen like this for about 20 minutes, and it's really freaking me out.

Now, he IS a Mojave spider, so I know that it could be part of his little head wobble, but I don't want to take any chances. He's stuck his head out of his hide before, but he hasn't "stargazed" like this really. Thank you in advance to anyone who knows anything about this behavior.
