    Re: Very New Ball Python Owner

    Hello, and to BP.net...

    Congratulations on your new little friend. To address some of your concerns:
    - Snakes will, on the average poop about every 2-3 weeks, but it is not uncommon for them to go a little longer, especially if they are getting ready to shed.
    - Your temperatures seem fine. It is best to have 2 identical, snug hides. One on each side of the enclosure.
    - Since your snake has already eaten in the enclosure, I would recommend sticking with what you know works. Sometimes, moving them to a separate feeding bin can stress them out, but if you want to try it, and the snake eats, and you are comfortable with it, then go ahead.
    - Don't get a bigger enclosure for when the snake gets bigger. Get a bigger enclosure when the snake gets bigger. An enclosure that is too big can also stress out a Ball Python and cause them to refuse food.
