Is My Ball Python OK?

[Wuattaguan]

To answer your questions you asked... your snake may be roaming because he may just be roaming. Of course it could mean something more but my ball roams a lot, even after 2 years. The fact that your new owner means the snake has recently become a pet of yours, so he's probably also trying to get a lay out of his enclosure and what the heck is going on. My snake hangs out in his water before/during/after shed, it doesn't necessarily mean something bad other than he likes his water. It could mean mites or low humidity, so be careful. Snakes are smart and when they're getting too cold, they'll move. Lastly, yes, he will try to get out and get out. He won't stop but it doesn't mean anything against you. Good luck

Thats good to know!

I just upgraded his terrarium yesterday.

1. I now use Aspen Bedding (3/4 Inch Thick, on top of Reptile Carpet)
2. The Ambient Temp is now a constant 80 degrees
3. The humidity is a constant 55%
4. 75-Watt Red Light (Down From 100-Watt) ON 24/7. Room's Temp is average 70 degrees.
5. Placed/Covered the U.T.H. so it will produce a hot spot of 90 degrees

Ever since the changes he has been a lot happier. I can tell because he no longer tries to constantly push up on the screen, and he now roams around only when he needs to change his temperature. Perfect!

However!

I have noticed that when he is disturbed while sleeping, he sometimes lets out a Loud Weez, almost like an R.I. except this is only when he breathes out with strength. He does not do this when he is undisturbed or being handled, he seems to breathe normally then.

Any ideas?
