Btw roaming, exploring around and cruising is a sign of stress, not happiness. A hiding ball python is a happy ball python
1. Yes it will stick. Dont feed in a separate tank. A little substrate on the rat will not bother the snake. and if its an issue just throw some newspaper in on top of the substrate before feeding then let him/her eat on that. Thats what i would do.
2. Soon as he gets first mouse down and fixes his jaw offer the second. Tho id switch to rats, easier on him!
3. Well high humidity isnt bad for them. Its not going to harm them. The bad thing about humidity is generally if you have a super high humidity.... well most of the time its the result of a soaked substrate that can cause scale rot. As long as ur substrate is not soaked and ur humidity is still up there i wouldn't worry.
4. You will see little black bugs around his eyes on his belly. If you stick him in water and take him out u will see little black bugs floating.
Tho i used some substrate like that and cypress and other stuff. Generally the bugs in there are not mites and wont harm ur snake... Dont really hear about to many people getting mites from their bedding just sometimes you will see a bug or 2 but they dont harm your snake.
