My ball python is currently enclosed in a 50 gallon long. He has plants, a warm hide and a cool hide. He has a water bowl to soak in and one to drink from.
he has foliage on the sides of the glass to help him feel secure. I have a uvb bar and a 100w basking bulb for the day time. He also has a heat pad hooked to a thermostat for night time.

The problem I’m having is he will not eat his food (instead he strikes it repeatedly until I remove it). He will strike the glass when I walk by, he will strike me when I go to pick him up. When he’s not striking the glass he will rattle his tail.

This little guy appears to be healthy and not dehydrated at all. No stuck shed either. He is a Banana Enchilada I obtained from Royal Constrictor Designs. Any ideas guys?
