    LoL, odd question.

    So its 11:00pm here, my lights in my room are dim and Max is crawling ALL over his cage. hes go in and out of his hides, climbs over the logs, stands up and almost reaches the top of the cage, keeps bumping into the glass, and is just all over the place, and covering ground pretty quickly. Now hes in the hide on the cool side just looking out into the rest of the cage. Now im used to Max just sitting in his hide and never moving, or sitting in his water dish and never moving. I have never seen him act like this....This normal? or there something wrong and thats why hes hyper active? He last ate on tuesday.

    Rat fuzzies or mouse fuzzies? Newly hatched ball pythons can be given mouse hoppers or rat pinkies/fuzzies right away and so if your BP is any bigger than hatchling, then it should be taking larger food items. How long is it?

    Re: LoL, odd question.

    hes about 20 inches, 6 months old, and hes be downing mouse fuzzies pretty easily. I'll try a small mouse this tuesday i guess. normally hes in his water dish right now but i didnt put nearly as much water in there as I normally do, usually he goes for a swim, now there is a just enough for him to drink from, but hes been on his log for awhile:

    That's how mine was when i first got him, but he's kind of calmed down now. But yeah he's probably hungry, or due to it being nightime, just active.

    I got mine when it was probably 3 months old and fed it regular size mice without a problem. I'd probably step it up a bit.

    Thanks for the comment on him.

    I'll be stopping by the pet shop on the way home and getting him a mouse. Feel bad now that I know I been starving it.
