Hello, I am very new to ball pythons and this is my first one. And Iv noticed every night the second I turn off his day lights and turn on the night ones he tried to push the top off his cage for atleast 2 hours straight then will stop, and sometimes in middle of night I’ll hear him trying again. I have owned him for 2 weeks, looks very healthy. But has yet to eat. I have offered him food 2 times a week so 4 times total now and still not the slightest interest in the dead rat. Please help!
I have also noticed when he is trying to ecscape he makes a weird wheezing sound, I do not this this is a RI. Because this only will happen when he seems stressed trying to escape. I’ve listened to him while he is calm and hear nothing. But second he seems stressed starts wheezing. I know this isn’t like 3 questions but if someone could help I would greatly appreciate it. 1 years old, regular bp.
