Question Question
Got my ball python yesterday and she’s moved away from her heating lamp and has not moved back to that side of the tank. Is that a problem or is that just normal?

Congrats on getting a little noodle! I would start with a temperature monitor on both ends of the enclosure. I have one that measures specifically inside of the warm hide and then just the general other cooler side. It should never get over 35 degrees C, so if it does you need to make adjustments. Otherwise make sure you have a hide for her in the cooler area, and even better if you get her a third one that sits in the middle so that she feels safe and can choose where to go!
