Hi,
I just got my very first ball python about 24 hours ago. He was born at the beginning of March and weighs about 100 grams.
Right now he isn't in the terrarium I have but in the quarantine box (70cm x 40cm x 40cm = 27" x 15" 15") I bought for him. He has a warm spot which is at about 32ºC (about 90ºF) and a colder side which is at about 27ºC (81ºF). The temperature stays the same night and day. But the humidity changes. During the day it was at about 55%-60% and at night at about 62%-68%.
He has a hide on the cooler and another one on the warmer side as well as a small water bowl. After about two hours of exploring after I got him he went into the hide on the cooler side and was not to be seen again. His breeder told me the last time she fed him (she fed him adult mice) was last week. So he would normally still have to eat this week.
So here's what concerns me a bit: He's been trying to escape all night and even managed to do so because the lid was not fully closed (it now is) since I wasn't sleeping and didn't know he was up (he woke up at about 1 am and now it is 6 am (in my country)). I was wondering whether he is just exploring, hungry, or just simple stressed because everything is new. Maybe his quarantine box is too big for him?
I have an appointment for him at the vet's next Monday and the vet said I should not feed him but I worried that he is searching for food.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
