Thanks heather....I will try...seems like 10 days is what y'all think I should wait.I really appreciate the advice...I've been stressing it....I will post pics of my lil guy(sprockets)and his setup...he is in a blacked out 10 gal aquarium with warm and cool side hide...hot spot low 90's and cool side low 80's with ambient temps in the mid 80's...and I use aspen bedding ontop of the butcherpaper that I put down first...and waterfowl is in middle of cage where it keeps humidity round 60%...I researched cage setups for months before I got this cool little bugger.but looks like my idiot self didn't research feeding like I should of...I got 2 corn snakes and they eat instantly any time of the day...so I overlooked the feeding of a ball python....plus it sounds like a huge mistake buying a hatchling that has never had a meal in its life....
