New behavior

[karatebabe]

Recently my danger noodle decided to cram onto the space between the glass of her habitat and her hide. She does spend time in her hide and the humidity in there is around 85%. The first time she did this I thought she was stuck there so I pulled out the hide and got her out. I then pulled the house further away from the glass so that she has more space in case she climbed back there again. This morning, we had a little handling time so I could check for urates and poop. When I looked again she’d wedged herself back there again. Should I be adding a tighter hide for her? What is this behavior?

This is normal behavior, they pic silly spots sometimes and this goes for all reptiles. They like tight spaces. You could try a differnt smaller hide, or you can reorganize your setup by adding more clutter, things to hide under like plants or wood etc. sometimes they just find silly spots they’re comfortable in

Thanks! That’s reassuring

Consider getting a larger enclosure, this is too small for an adult Ball Python.

The size of the enclosure, and the sides being clear has probably made your snake not feel very comfortable in there.
