You need to check your temps and the tank is too bare for a ball python. You need two hides(one on cool side, one on warm side) and they need to be just big enough for the snake to fit in and needs to have only one small opening so it will feel secure. You really need to replace the half log as they are not very good for a ball! New snakes will do this for a few weeks but if it goes longer then it is a security issue! Follow everything on this care sheet and you will have one happy ball python: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ius)-Caresheet
