Hi everyone,

I have been enjoying reading around the forum, but I apologise that my first post has to be like this.

I got my ball python mid-december, so about six weeks ago. Apparently he would be about 5.5-6 months old now.
He has been feeding every week, a rat fuzzie, and he shed just fine just over a week or so ago. He has a lovely character, and seemed to settle in just fine.

However, I have made a mistake. The last feed was 6 days ago, last Sunday. I made an error of giving him an extra fuzzie, which he ate without hesitation. 2 days ago, he started to become slower, and seemed under the weather. He just wants to curl up, and goes underneath his newspaper. I am hoping beyond hope that it is just that he is putting his energy into digesting his meal and will be better.
I have also seen him moving around his cage slowly, then moving his head as if deciding to go on a different direction quickly. He did that a bit last night. This is not like him at all.

I try to maintain the temperature at 28-30 degrees celsius on the hot side and 55%-65% humidity.
I weighed him about a week ago, and he was only about 120 grams which I didn't understand how that was possible. He didn't look or act weak, and the fuzzie was a little smaller than the thickest point of his body.

I know I have made a big mistake with my feeding error. I will never ever do it again. I really am so very worried, and I know it's best just to try and leave him alone. I also moved his cage to my house before he changed behaviour, so there is the added stress of being moved.
He had a good pee last night, and I really hope he goes to the toilet soon, because it will indicate he may get better.

Has anybody else made this error, or know another who has? I feel so foolish. I would never want to bring harm on any creature.
