    Re: Ball python not using hide or eating

He sits on top of his hide and crawls around and knocks his water bowl over which is very unusual for him I would expect this out of some of my other snakes but not him. The temps are at 90 degrees on hotspot and his substrate is wet at the moment because he is knocking his water bowl over recently. Not sure if I should be concerned or if it’s just him being stubborn I thought maybe he is just sick of rats and I have some spare mice but I don’t know if I should attempt that yet he’s only missed about 21 days. Any advice?
    You have any other snakes (females) around him? If nothing has changed with his husbandry and his set up is the same I wouldn't imagine it's his care taking. I have had males (breeding size) get a little spun up when breeding season comes around but never go off food. Most of the time they just turn into bulldozers and re-arrange their set up. If the snake has good weight, I would just let him be and try and feed him every week as usual..
