Hello,
I just bought a new ball python at a show in Detroit, Michigan yesterday. The guy said that it was around 2 to 2.5 months old. I asked when it ate last and he said Wednesday. So, I assumed that it would be ready to eat again this Wednesday. I was moving the water dish to the warm side of the cage and smoothing out the ring that it left in the substrate when kitty struck with lightning speed and gave me a pin prick on my middle finger. Is this a baby snake thing or is he just ready to eat again already? Do babies eat more frequently than adults? Or, is he just stressed from the show and being held too much before we let him chill in his new home? Any feedback left will be much appreciated. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Todd
