    Rather Shocked

    I just finished moving again into my dorm room, and since 10pm Irwin has not stopped moving, he'll go in one hide, then into the other, then on top of his driftwood, then on top of his hide.

    I can walk right up to the tank and he will shy away just slightly, but then stare me down.

    I have never seen him this active, its exciting!!!

    He's probably just a bit freaked out by the move. Give him a bit of time and he will settle back down. If he doesn't make sure to double and triple check your husbandry.

    Yep, he sounds stressed from the moving. He should settle soon. Remember that an active BP, especially during the day, usually means a freaked out BP. Although it is fun to watch them, make sure you keep track of husbandry issues and make sure he settles.

    Oh, he's not active during the day at all, only at night when the lights are off or dimmed.

    His warm side it at 90F his cool side is at 81F and humidity is at 66% I just misted his tank.

    Well, Ball Pythons are nocturnal. Mine usually sleeps all day and is awake during the night. I've moved several times with him and he's been fine every single time. Sounds like your bp is just being a bp

    Well, I think my BP is just being a BP was well. I think he is out looking for food. He tounge is flickering everywhere, ect. I got him a little more then a week ago, so I think it's about time to feed my little man.

    Mine is like that. Usually he'll just sit curled up on my wrist, or neck, or head, or face (he likes to wrap around my glasses while I'm trying to use the computer)... but when he's hungry he's all over the place tasting the air every 2 seconds. I usually feed him within a day of seeing that behavior.
