I have 8 ball pythons, and one of them is the exact same kind of weirdo. We tried him with several different hides when we first got him, and he ignored them all, sleeping with a small part of his body inside the hide, lying on top of it, or on the other side of the tank completely. So we took out the hide, and gave him some extra foliage. He loves it! He's also my very best eater out of the 8.
Here is a picture I snapped of him this morning. This is where he usually sleeps.
He did seem just as happy with no foliage at all, just sleeping totally out in the open, too - but I think it looks nicer this way.
i think that you must be right. I've been very diligent with keeping the temps proper and I've offered many diff types of hides. It helps a lot to hear that somebody else has been through this with their snake! It's a great idea to try some foliage! I hadn't thought of that!! She loves her big stick for climbing and scratching on...she would probably LOVE a little bit of foliage to hang out in! I will definitely give that a try! Thank you so much for calming my fears! In all of these months I felt so bad that I could not find what she seemed to "like", and get her to settle down. And perhaps now I can just accept that fact that she's just a strange little girl... Lol I will get my little weirdo a bit of greenery tonight!
