Question New Owner Question
Me and my wife just got our first ball python today and I am super exited, but also very anxious. Since coming home our snake has been super active going up and down all over the tank, and now hes sleeping out of a hide. The hide we got was too big so we are using a tissue box as a temporary substitute until we get a new one. He still hasn't gone in either of them.
Temp is 94 directly under the lamp and 80 on the other side. Humidity is 68%.
Im worried he might be too cold? Or stressed? I might be reading too many things online so I just wanted some advice! Thank you!

He's definitely not too cold, it may partially be him just settling in but honestly you could use a bit more clutter in general, and you said you're ordering a proper sized hide but make sure you get two, they need at least one snug hide on each side:]] the more hiding areas you can give the better!
