    Ball Python Stuck?

    First off, I am new to this forum as well as keeping Ball Pythons. I adopted my first one about 24 hours ago. Now to my problem. My BP knocked over his fake rock and has gotten about halfway inside. He has been like this for at least an hour (I came home to him like this so I don't know how long total). I tried to coax him out, ad have tried to gently pull him out. But he is either stuck or doesn't want to leave. My question is, should I even be worried? Is it possible for him to get into a hole that he can't get out of? Thanks for any advice you have!

    Also I tried to post a picture but I can't figure out how.

    Most likely he doesn't want to come out he's still very new to his surroundings and just wants to hide. Not an expert but I doubt hes in a position he can't get out of when he wants to. Id make sure he had plenty uninterrupted time and possibly cover his enclosure, provide another snug hide and he will probably have moved by morning.

    You might leave him be for a couple days longer.

    Pics would help. You could use photobucket or upload them to the member gallery. Paste the image code not the link code.

    He might need better hides. Give him two identical, close-fitting hides and when he comes out of his fake rock just take it away.
