    Ok so I heard that "a hiding ball python is a happy ball python" But my baby seems pretty active and curious. He ate a medium sized mouse ( He eats rats and mice, they only had rat pups that were only 6 grams at the time so i bought good sized mice) 4 days ago. I usually feed every 5 days since he's only a baby. I also make sure he's eating 15% of his body weight and he's a whooping 119 grams right now (the mice are about 16 grams each). He's usually active after the third/ fourth day after he has eaten. And he's never refused a meal (the little piggy) He also shed once with me and was all in one piece. Should I feed him more? I heard baby's are more active then adults so am i worrying over nothing?

    And before everyone asks, the warm side is 90 right now with the cool side being 81. The humidity is 54%. My heat source is a heat pad thats being regulated by a rheostat. Taboo resides in a 30 gallon tank that is very crowded ( because i know its alittle big for a baby) and i use cypress substrate. I think thats about everything

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    i have a baby ball python who eats great, sheds great and hides all day and comes out at night, when he eats he doesnt come out for at least 2 days even if the cage is very crowded being that big for a baby could cause him stress i keep mine in a large finarium, which he will be good in for atleast a year maybe you should try him in a smaller enclosure.. this is just my opinion weight for some other people to weigh in tho
    Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
