Ball python help

[Zincubus]

I got my ball python 6 days ago they sold him to me in shed and said that he is a year old when I don't think he is. He is now staying in his hide. I'm just really scared off killing him

Fear not

As already mentioned they don't usually come out of hides during shed mode and that could take another few days to a week . Best thing to do is spray the Viv two or three times each day until it shows itself ( you'll probably find the messy , rolled up lump of skin UNDER his hide afterwards ) .
Note they get their colour back and the eyes clear a few days BEFORE the skin actually comes off .


Whilst it's in shed mode - try and find a few appropriately sized branches for his Viv/ rub - as if you want an active Royal you need to give him something to climb on in the evenings ....
