I know I need to move him to a room that is more isolated... But my apartment is tiny and I have been doing a lot of decluttering around the house and still don't have another place to put him just yet and haven't had the extra money to get a shelf for him yet as me and my fiance keep have had a few financial set backs recently that were unexpected. Info really care and feel bad for him, even to the point that I have considered rehoming him because it's been a lot on my plate! We are currently not even using our dining room table because that's where he has been since we've got him. He is really big actually. 4 feet long, and pretty thick at his girth (but doesn't look overweight) Definitely full grown. If he were to start freaking out by me handling him with a towel over his head, I would be so nervous! I'm trying so hard to get over my fear. I used to want to be a zoologist and handled lots of animals, even reptiles, but have never owned a snake until now, and I was actually excited about getting him when we did and had every intention on handling him a lot more, I since i know ball pythons are typically docile. I just did not expect this. I have had problems with his cool side of the enclosure, because the stupid heat pad they gave me isn't the right kind for the enclosure. I got it on a thermostat after I got him because I discovered it was getting too hot. I don't have air conditioner right now so the cool side of the enclosure is a perfect 80* right now, but I would rather get a heat panel because when it would be cooler in here, that side would not go above 75*. I'm still trying to figure out humidity. Right now it is 71%. He has a large water bowl in there, and I was told that was good enough for humidity, but I can spray it in there if I need to. Just trying to get it clean right now... Ugh!
