ok, i just got a baby ball python. i followed the no handling rules for the first week, fed him on thursday November 17, waited a few days then started handling him. i got home today to see that he took a really big crap. it was alot, which i dont know if its normal. also he is secreting a jelly substance from the end of his tail, and its clear and a little bit of it is a very light red. im pretty worried, i did some research before i got him and didnt read anything about that. also his belly is a slight pink color which i read means they are starting a shedding cycle. is this all do to the shedding cycle or do i have another problem? and should i take him to see a specialist. and last, i have him in a 10gal tank with a under the tank heat pad, is this sufficient. the guy at the store said its all i need but my room tends to get pretty cold at night. thanks.
