Ball Python never flicks his tongue?

[rivunel]

He's just a normal. This is my first snake so i've never done anything like this before. I haven't been able to sleep tonight so I got up and he hasn't moved all day. Maybe came out a little (we don't keep a hide for him, instead it's like a branch that provides cover) under his branch but that's it. He's usually most active at night, and he hasn't been coming out. I don't know if any of this information with help, but....Temp is 83.8You should raise the temperature a little on one side you want the temperature on one side to be in the mid 90's and on the other side the temperature should be in the low 80's. and undertank heater will be able to bring the heat up to the right temperature (It never gets much hotter than that. Maybe because we only have 60w bulbs?) I just sprayed the bedding down to raise the humidity and it's 53%.Avoid Spraying the bedding itself spray the walls of the cage (aquarium) spraying the bedding,if it's dirty, can cause scale rot so it's easier just to avoid getting the bottom wet I started spraying it down and must've scared him because he was moving around quickly. More info? We had problems with them shipping him, and he never got home to us until Friday, (the 3rd), but he was not only stressed i'm sure from Fedex tossing him around, but he was also pretty into shed. He ate fine the next Friday, but my friend mentioned that he was pointy (along his back) and not more circular like he should be.I've heard they can be a little pointier on their back when they are underfed Insights? Also he pooped on the 9th I believe since we were going to feed him the next day and hasn't since? He doesn't seem to have problems though from what hubby and I see.

there are countless reasons why it may not have eaten the tank not being hot enough is a big one but after you get the tank to the right temperature the snake should eat fine. and don't worry about this too much this kind of things happen with new owners
