Well this could be the riddle's solution.Originally Posted by BrandonPythons
Breeders often keep their snakes in racks which do not have any light in them. It's trying to simulate the ball python's natural habitat of living in wet, tight and dark places. They're basically a big hide. That's also why the snake can just choose whatever temperature it likes no matter what time but it's different for terrariums.
If there's light inside the enclosure, it will simulate a day-night cycle. That means that your ball python will normally get up at night to change homes and sometimes even during the day if they are way too hot. Ball pythons need to be able to thermoregulate.
I think that your ball python is probably too hot on the hot side and searches for a colder spot but he cannot find a safe place during the day because a hide is missing. He feels unsafe but wants to thermoregulate. So is cruising and searching.
So get a hide identical to the other and put it on the cold side. That's my suggestion.
