Thanks
Hey! Welcome to the site! It's always good to have a new with the love of herps! But this is my personal experience, I've seen snake that hide a lot, and Ive also seen snakes that rarely hide. Remember every ball has it's own personality. You have the nippy ones And you have the loveable ones. Could we get some more.info? Like your humidity, temps, how you monitor them, and what provides the heat? Do you use a Under the tank heater to a thermostat, or lights? What do you use as substrate? Something which seems small can stress out a ball more then what most people believe!
