New ball python owner, need help and advice
Hello everyone, I'm a new ball python owner and I think I'm having some trouble and need help. My BP is a male, about full size (3.5-4ft), got him from a friend who wasn't able to take care of him anymore. When I first got him, he was suprisingly calm, not stressed at all, and acclimated well to his new home which was a gigantic terrarium. He was always in his hides, he handled well, just a good calm snake. I wasn't able to maintain decent temp and humidity so I downsized his tank on thanksgiving (not too too small, pet store employee helped me pick it out). Ever since then he's been acting strange... Temp is about 85, humidity about 55%-60% during the day and 80-85 and 50% at night. He ate on thanksgiving for the first time with me then I put him in his new home. He moves during a day quite a bit, he doesn't stay on his hides, I offen find him moving his water dish, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe he's just getting used to the new tank. Any advice/feedback? It would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the lengthy post!!
