    How big is he? If he's a baby, a 40 gallon is WAY too big. Even a 20 gallon would be too big for him.

    Also, have you provided hides for him? A hiding ball python is a happy ball python.

    He has two hides, one on each side. and he is almost a year and 2 ft long. It's probably too big of a tank and he is probably stressed since I got him last week...

    I keep mine in a 4'x2' PVC enclosure so I think that you are fine as far as cage size goes.

    I would get this thermometer at Wall*Mart. It costs $12 and measures 2 temperatures and humidity.
