My ball python is going on 6 months now. He was 119 grams the last time I weighed him (the end of last month). I finally got him his appropriate food size, so this Friday was the first time I fed him a rat fuzzy. He took it quite well. Fast forward to today, I just got home from work and I noticed the same skid marks in his bedding where I know he tried escaping. I also forgot to take the paper out of his terarrium that indicated feeding time- so he was in striking position (a tight s shape) when I saw him.
I took out the paper and he stayed in the same position. But I also noticed that the humidity dropped down harshly low, which I might have not dampened the moss well enough before I left. So I fixed his humidity and I've been keeping an eye on him. He's been alert like he's going to be fed.
Is he still hungry? Or was he just stressed from low humidity? I can't tell which one. Maybe he was confused because he thought it was still feeding time?
Every time he's finished eating, he's always hiding away, even after the few days of digestion. Sometimes I don't see him for two days or so straight during the week. So I hope somethings not bothering him
Thank you. Anything helps.
P.S- I have a small hand full of hoppers left. Should I toss those or keep them in case he denies a rat fuzzy his second time feeding?
