Ball pythons are not literal “pet rocks” people say that because you will hardly see them during the day because they will be hiding. They’re nocturnal so they ARE active at night, thus the term “pet rock” because when you are awake they are asleep and vise versa. He will not hurt himself climbing walls or trying to squeeze into places because he won’t even be able to get his snout into your cage sliding door. He’s jumpy because he is I assume a hatchling, you are hundreds of times bigger than he is. If you were constantly being watched and observed by a giant I’m sure you would be jumpy too. When people say “they don’t eat well and skip meals” because that’s what adult ball pythons do. Hatchlings should be automatic with feeding and rarely refuse food. They don’t start getting spotty with feeding until they hit their 1000g wall. Your Ball Python is NOT acting any different from anyone else’s Ball Python
