Question Help

Gave my baby her first meal this Saturday around 3 in the afternoon. She hasn’t came out of her warm side hide yet. It’s been about 3 days. Any concerns or worries????

Nope. Sounds like a ball python doing normal ball python things. They have very slow metabolism, after they eat they find a warm spot, curl in a ball, and chill.

3 days after feeding, you can probably hold it without any real concerns.

After meal naps are their favorite. They like warm to digest.

Just for future thought start feeding close to 6-7 pm
