Hey everyone, I just got my Ball Python a couple days ago, and he seems great. I've read many of these posts but there are a couple things I'm either confused about or have overlooked. He is only a month or two old so i have him in a tank with fine humidity and temp, but I really want to switch over to tub for practicality. I ordered Flexwatt, thermostat, have my tub, substrate, hides, everything but still have a couple questions:
1. Is Flexwatt safe to put directly onto the plastic (and yes it will be connected to a thermostat)?
2. My tub will be up and rearing to go in a couple days, but i just got him 3 days ago and have not fed him yet (will try f/t tomorrow though). Should I let him get acclimated first, then stress him out again with a new environment or should i move him a couple days after feeding before he gets too comfy?
3. Does roaming at night mean hes hungry or is he just being active?
4. Thanks guys and ill try to put up a picture soon, maybe you can help me name him!
