    Am I the only one?

    I have never had a snake before & I'm really having a hard time accepting the fact that even though I never see him out n about, he's ok. I'm always lifting up his hide to make sure he's still alive. It's kind of stressful! :/

    If he's in his hide more likely he's fine

    If he's hiding, you're doing something right. A hiding ball python is a happy ball python.

    And they are nocturnal, so he may be more active at night.

    Mine are in their hides all the time too, unless I'm thawing feeders, and then I see little noses at the ventilation holes at the front of the tubs. Seriously though, if you want a "display" snake then something like a rainbow boa or king is much more appropriate.

    Mine are always in their hides, I have be known to check quickly if I haven't seen one for a few days though!

    I don't necessarily want a display snake. It's just not something that I'm used to. I'm used to cats & dogs & fish. I like that he's not always bothering me. Lol! But it makes me worry. I'll figure it out.
