I bought a lovely new ball python on Sunday who is only 6 weeks old, ever since I put him is his tank he just sits in one place all day long.
I have two hides in his tank but he is not interested in either......he seems very nervous when I open the tank and will strike at my hand if I get to close.

I don't want to handle him until I have fed him a couple of times and he is settled into his new home.

How can I get him interested in his hides or should I just wait for him to explore a bit ?
