Do you think this is a female?
My ball python is always active. Shes always on the tree branch, on top of upsie down log, and everywhere. She always gets on the edge of the water thing. I think its a female, cuz ive heard females are really active. What do you think?

sounds like it might be hungry. What and how often do you feed it?

My female only looks around when she's hungry, going to poop or travelling from one side of the cage to the other to thermoregulate. As others said, how often do you feed it and what do you feed it?

it could be but that is very if-y way. you should sex it by seeing if you can pop the penises out (if any) or see if she dosnt have any at all or your could get her (or him) probed by a breeder or by a vet or someone who has done it before

Yes i agree, go to a vet or a breeder who has done it before. It shouldn't cost to much.

Another reason a snake may be overly active and cruising around is because the temps are too warm and they are looking to escape and cool off. You cannot really tell by behaviour what sex your snake is, the only ways to be sure is to have it probed, or if it is small enough, it can also be popped.

Hey whats up I feed Roca every 7 days. its about 4 months and it eats small mice. Well As for feeding it, he will eat tomarrow. I really think it is hungry. For the tempeture, its always like at 85 during the day and 75 in the night. the humdity is always fine. theres no problem, i guess hes hungry. Well as for the popping, until what age can u pop them , and is there anywhere where you could find how to. or else i would just take it to a vet. i just dont know which one des it. Thanks

85 sounds too cold during the day, my temp is between 90-95 during the day and 80-85 at night.

Is that 85 ambiant or basking? Your snake is big enough for fuzzie rats or rat pups. Small mice are too small for your snake.

I agree...small mice are too small for a weekly meal. From the picture, I'd say your snake is skinny and probably hungry. A good rule of thumb is to feed a prey item that is as big around as the fattest part of your snake's body.
If you can get rats...do that. If not, try an adult mouse. Only feed dead prey.
