new here, and new snake!

[youngage]

so i just pikced up my first snake a ijc python, and its a baby very thin and about 2 feet?

i currently have it in a 20 gallon with 2 hides and a big piece of driftwood for it to climb. i used to have jungle earth as substrate but have since moved on to a mix of plantation soil mixed with it to keep humidity in. now the humidity in the tank is very high and i have lights on it alot for it to dry up quicker.

anyways it is very friendly and nice, but i was just wondering if it is behaving normally, since i fed it last night in my shoe box, when i tried to picked it up to put it back into its tank, it was always moving and always had its head in the striking position so i was cautious. but since i put it back it has been sitting at the top of the branches and resting there since. is this normal for it? or should i be worried?

the tank is at about 87-90
and the humidity is about 70+ (trying to get it to dry out now. no more towel on top)

any other tips and suggestions for it?

thanks alot!,

hugo.
