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![]()
