New Ball is not active at night

[Bmocken]

I got my new adult ball python a week ago and am worried she is stressed or ill. I am pretty confident that she is not coming out at night. She has been in her hide (on the cool side) since day one and has not left it, even at night to explore the cage. The first few days she had a red light at night and I never saw her out when I would woke up throughout the night. I was thinking the red light was bothering her so I replaced the heat with a ceramic bulb. I saw her out once the night I switched it but she has not moved since that. I thought maybe she was shedding but her color looks normal.

She lives in a 20 gallon long with one hide on each side and some plants to provide cover. The temps of the cage are pretty good (I have the ceramic bulb on a thermostat and it is the only source of heat). The hot side is at 95 and the cool side is at 83-84. At night the cool side drops to about 78. The humidity stays right around 50 all the time. The only source of light she gets is from my dragons cage on the shelf next to her that turns on and off at 9 so there is never a blaring light above her. As far as I know, these are good conditions for a ball.

I am worried that she isn't adjusting or is getting sick? It makes me nervous that she seems to be sleeping through the day and night. Any advice or experience with this would be great!

Sounds like a Ball Python to me. Ball Pythons generally are in one spot for long periods of time. Even when they are awake they don't need to go out unless they really want to. 95 for the hot spot seems to be a touch on the higher end. Might try dropping that down between 90-94.
