Is this normal?

How deep is the substrate? 1/4 inch is plenty. Also put the water bowl flat against the glass and put substrate around it. Problem solved. Is your water bowl a heavy one?

I got a thin layer of forest floor. Just enough to cover the bottom. Then I have moss on top of that just in the center. I am going to rearrange his home tonight and get the water bowl all the way down. I have been putting a thin layer down and then setting the hides and added more forest floor to around the hides. There’s a small opening just big enough for him to slide into. Makes me feel like it’s more like a den. Of course I’ve learned and the few months I have had my 2 BP’s that it don’t matter what I think, What they did like they don’t like this week and they will like next week, maybe.

My bp goes through phases where he likes to burrow. He went under his water bowl a few times (but it wasn't like every day) and since my bowl is fairly heavy I was a little worried. I simply took out the bowl, removed the substrate from under it, and then put it back in directly on the glass.

Some people will say that ball pythons don't like to burrow, but I don't think that's always true. Just the other night my baby decided that it would be better to burrow a mini tunnel out of his hide rather than go through the actual opening of it... snakes all have their own quirks I guess.
