    Re: Not sleeping and freezing

    Second day in a row, she is just not sleeping. I don't get it she just continue to look around the cage as if shes trying to escape. I'm worried because obviously this interferes with her sleeping scheduale. She is cold and not sleeping i dont know what this is. The humidity and temps are perfect. She ate regularly and i give her fresh water. I tried changing her hide but it continues. She has two hides and wont go in either one and both fit her (not to big and not to small). O really have never seen this before. Does anyone know what i can do or try? Have any of u seen this before?

    One word.. RELAX

    Are you watching your ball python 24/7? Probably not. The snake is sleeping..trust me. They don't have eyelids.. so it is kind of hard to tell when they are actually asleep.

    Try filling the tank with some fake plants, or the cheaper version: crumpled paper. Give her some cover and she might start using the hides or at least calm down.

    Your snake might be hungry? Mine only does that when he's hungry, and as soon as he has a full tummy, he goes back into his hide.

    I know you said your snake has been eating regularly, but maybe the food item isn't big enough? I dunno.

    Re: Not sleeping and freezing

    Actually the other day I started thinking that. So i recently posted to try and understand how much is appropriate to feed her? is there a general rule of thumb. Like she is eating 2 hoppers right now should i give her three? I didnt thing a regular mouse was good cause its bigger then her girth. So i am unclear on when to upgrade food size and how many of that size to feed her.
    Thanks

    Hatchling ball pythons move up from hopper mice fairly quickly. Do you know how much your snake weighs? I'm sure it could take at least small adult mouse or something a little bigger. You'd be surprised what they can eat as babies!

    Re: Not sleeping and freezing

    unfortunatly i havnt had a chance to weigh her cause i cant seem to find a scale. I will try feeding her adult mice thought as long as they are okay for her girth. how much should i feed her like how do i know if one is enough or when i should give her two?
