Finally got a banana ball python named pudding. Pictures are in the pic forum also!
I just wanted to make sure I am in a good shape for my new baby.

1) I asked them and they said he was about 4~5 months old, I came home weighted and he is 134 g. He doesn't look dehydrated or skinny at all but I was doing research and it seems like 4~5 months seems to weigh more? or is he good as long as body shape looks good?

2)And what should I feed him? Place where I got it from was saying he was on hopper mice and I should feed that for 2~3 feedings. According to the feeding chart I saw here states that first 3~5 meals are hopper mouse and from then up to 200 g should be small mouse. Should I just go with small mouse?

3) As temp wise, I temp gunned the snake body and it was at 81 degrees. Am I in a good shape? I know they are cold blooded and just depend on the environment temperature. Should it be warmer if it is on the hot spot?

4)Lastly, are they escapers? Do they want to escape from their enclosure? or are they just trying to explore but end up escaping. Reason why I ask was he was exploring the tub but was exploring the top sides of the tub.

Thank you!
