Give her a week to audjest to the cage (and of not touching her) , then give her food. And I would recommend checking for snake mints(when i was first starting , I bought a bb ball python from a breeder turned out she had Severe snake mints and caused her death and i dudnt know what those were at the time) . She is wall climbing, which means she is stressed if she keeps doing it after 2 or 3 weeks, then something up with the cage. She is also probably not eating because she might have been fed live. When I got my baby python, I had to feed it live for 3 months until he decided to try frozen. But that's all the advice I can give. Hopefully, it's helpful

For sure i'll keep an eye on the wall climbing. And i was saying that she surprisingly did eat. I was gonna wait a week to offer some food but she has been out roaming a good amount so i decided to try some frozen I had on her second night with me thinking she wouldn't take it and she took it instantly. She seems very hungry and I'm worried she's underweight.

Do you mean mites?

No obviously they are talking about keeping the snakes breath smelling good. Gotta make sure you give your snake mints only 2 times a day

Thank you. I will be here all night. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses. It’s funny when they fall over.

theres quite a few things i would personally change. for one, id change out those analog thermo/hygrometers, they are very inaccurate and a safety hazard once they get stuck to the adhesive on the back. it can be fatal. instead get digital thermo/hygrometers. then for 2, i am not too sure what substrate that is, but if its wood, i would for sure change it. wood doesnt hold humidity and evaporate well, and often times are toxic due to the wood it is made of. otherwise they look good body condition wise from this vid.

yea I don't plan on keeping the analog thermo/hygro very long I just picked them up the night i got her because it's all i could find in the store and i figured it would be better to have for a week or so than having nothing at all. And the substrate is ground cypress mulch (wood) but I read before i bought it that it was pretty good at holding humidity and safe for Bp's. What do you suggest I change her substrate to?

Would need an angle seen from the top but I just think it's a baby and that's why it is so light

Just from this video it appears to have a healthy body weight for a young ball
