Hello everyone,

I got my first baby ball python 3 weeks ago (4 months old now). I fed him three times since I got him. He ate f/t rat pinkie the first two times without hesitation. I went on holiday for a week last sunday. When I returned everything was all right with the enclosure, except the humidity dropped slightly below 50%, however, I fixed it immediately. Anyway, I tried to feed him on monday with f/t rat pinkie and he just examined it with his tongue and after few moments lost interest. I tried another f/t rat pinkie today but he refused again. What I am thinking is, that he might be preparing for the shed, as he did not shed with me yet, however, I cannot see any signs of shedding yet.
Moreover, he never pooped after his two meals and I only cleaned urates once. Is this normal behavior or should I be concerned about something?

His cold side temp is around 77° F, ambient temp 84-86° F and hot side temp 89-90° F. There is a minute drop in temps during the night. The humidity is 55-65%. He has two identical hides, a sufficient water bowl and few plants to make him feel more secure, moreover, I have covered the sides of the glass tank so he feels even more secure. I handle him only once or twice a week for 5 mins max.

Thank you for your replies.
