Always staring at me?

Hmm thanks for the suggestions. I will try offering him food a little more frequently. He has also been spending time resting his head on his hide at and angle or knocking down his thermometer and resting his head and neck flat on that. He has no issues with balance though, so it's not stargazing from what I have read. He holds his head quite steady when poking around or staring with his head and neck off the ground. Tonight I was talking to him through the glass and he very slowly started coming towards me with this intense focus.

I'm really at a loss, here. Maybe he just needs to be fed more often.

How close was your face to the glass? A possibility is that if you were close enough and you were "talking" to him .... The hot air from your breath as you were speaking created a "hot spot" on the glass, for example when we blow hot air on a cold window so you can write on it with your finger .... Even tho you could not see the fog, ball pythons use their heat receptors to hone in on prey. I'm thinking that your breath warmed a small area on the glass that he could pick up on with his receptors and he was focused on that "hot spot" ..... Was he flicking his tounge a lot?? This is just a theory that popped in my head, but I don't think it is too far fetched to be a possibility
