Welcome to the forum Joey and congratulations on your bp taking it's first meal with you. As Adam said, establish good routines/habits with the snake and stick to them consistently. Ball pythons seem to feel less stress if they have a routine to recognize in a basic way. Things like what day you feed, what time of day, what days you handle and do not handle, how you handle (don't handle for 48 hrs after a feeding)...that sort of stuff. If you haven't had a moment to check it out, we have an excellent care sheet here on ball python care you might want to go over. Don't be shy about asking any questions that come to mind, there's a great group of people here!
