Re: Odd ball Pyton behavior?
If your tank(s) are glass, just remember that regulating and maintaining proper heat and humidity levels are more difficult.

Re: Odd ball Pyton behavior?
I think digging around in their aspen is normal behavior... mine will sort of pile it up sometimes, and sometimes he burrows in the aspen. He's actually gotten under the aspen, then under the newspaper I put under the aspen!
At first I was a little freaked out when I saw that his hides were both empty, but I use a Critter Cage that locks, so I couldn't see him escaping... now if I find a tiny set of lockpicks, I'm in trouble!

Check his tail... they're pointed for a reason.

For best results, I would only feed hatchlings-sub adults every 5-7 days, and adults every 7-10 days. Offering food too often causes a lot of stress to a snake's digestive tract, which will result in your BP to 'fast' for several weeks to allow their metabolism to catch up on all of the nutrients they've ingested. If you feel that just one medium sized mouse isn't enough to last him a week, you can feed him two medium sized mice every 7 days. These animals only get ~10 meals a year in the wild, when in captivity they get over 52 meals a year if fed once a week.
