 Ok if snake hides / sleeps alot?

my snake is very inactive. she stays in her hide spots and only really comes out to go to the warm or cold side. she only moves around midnight also. is this normal and ok?

if i take her out she is very active though. she still hasnt shed either and its been a week already. also she hasnt eaten in about 2 weeks.

everything sounds fine....

what do you mean by "hasnt shed either and its been a week already."? a week since what?

if your snake is in shed it might not eat.

BAll pythons are nocturnal they are most active at night they come out at night. feed them at night dont pick up after you feed. ball pythons shed once every month and a half to a month. so you should put him in a box with a mouse at night he will eat let the mouse sit in there with him for about 15 min. dont let mouse hurt the snake. if u just got the snake it needs to be settled in before it will eat. it will take about a week to settle in. and what kinda cage(gallons) heat source and what are your temps?
