me again..inactive?

[Newbie Ball]

I have the most inactive BP in the world. All he does all day / night is sleep. He only goes out of his hide if I pick him up, moves hides, or he goes for a drink. I rarely see him try breaking out of his cage, Probably once a month he makes a effort.
Now he could be active while I am asleep, but even when I have my late nights on the computer I don't see him come out.

When I hold him he seems find, no foaming at the month or anything that would give me a reason to be concerned. He just went to the vet this month, and he gave a all clear.


Is this just a BP that is use to his surroundings?

[Archimedes]

Yep, no need for worry! Ball pythons aren't show animals, more often then not they're curled up somewhere dark and secure. As long as he's thermoregulating on his own and has a good feeding response, he sounds like he's living the ideal BP life! =]

What you have there sounds like a perfectly normal, happy, healthy ball python. Now you know why we tell people not to waste money on huge show tanks for these guys. Because 99% of the time, what you would see is a huge empty tank!

Some of mine I see so infrequently, I do a hide check every other day or so just to make sure they are still in the tub!
