Yea you've had him for 6 weeks, but if you're going in there every other day moving stuff around and changing stuff you really haven't let him settle in. I think it would do you and your snake a world of good to leave that enclosure alone for a few weeks.
I am not doing it constantly. I tried it then stopped when it didnt change anything.
I don't care if he's active or not I just care about him potentially hurting himself while climbing the walls, squeezeing through anything and trying to squish hinself through tiny gaps trying to get out of the enclosure.
I have studied about ball python keeping for over a year before getting him and now I am experiencing polar opposites of what I have learned about ball pythons and seen about them from other keepers I followed.
Bp's are pet rocks, you won't see them much at all, always hiding. He is very active all night. BP's are chill, he is jumpy and skittish.
BP's don't eat well and skip many meals, he is constantly hungry and looking for food (not complaining about this one).
So forgive me that I am pretty much confused and want to find any problems that could lead to him being so "different".
Different personalitys are a thing I am aware. But when everyone says they naturally act a certain way, then mine acts that different, I get worried about my animal. And I don't quite believe yet that I was "blessed" with a ball python that is the odd one out.
