i thank everybody for their help and their advice on how to situate the snake and its enviroment if it begins to be stressed but i have a question to ask...whe i got the snake it came home with me in this little pet container, and didnt have any kind of hide. the snake would be coiled up in different spots during the day but it would also be active in the space it had during the day,if it was stressed with that space would it go off feed? is it possible to just have an active ball python?
