New Ball Python.. need help!
I just bought my very first snake yesterday and its a ball python. I named him Alfred (just guessing its a boy). The associate at the store said he is about three to four months old. he has been in his new home for a day now and he has been very active. Like trying to get to the top of the tank. Is that normal? I did read it could be caused by hunger or him being too hott. he is in a 10 Gallon tank with a screen top the temp has been averaging about 88 to 90 degrees farenheit and humidity at 65%. its very hot right now and humid with it being summer time where i live. Alfreds light has been off all day because how warm my house gets. there is a heating pad on the other side of the tank from the light but he really hasnt been laying there. Also i have not fed him yet.. I was told to let him get use to his new home. I would like any advice or tips. I want to make sure he stays healthy.
I added a photo as well. Thanks ahead of time for the help.
