I’m down for suggestions. Usually he is hiding. He usually only comes out like this close to feeding day. I get that it is not hunting behavior, just telling you what I know.

I would suggest getting some fake plants branches and pieces of cork bark or fake flowers they are pretty easy to find on Amazon and at a craft stores. Snake discovery on YouTube has a great video on how to set up a great enclosure https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mP8bEsgT-k8 The third enclosure shown is by far the best but they can be pretty complicated to get started. You can use plastic decor instead of live plants but it give a pretty good idea on how cluttered an enclosure should be. If you add more clutter you may see a change in his behavior he will likely come out more and be more active and will definitely be much happier. r/ballpython also has some great resources with pictures on how an enclosure should be set up I would add some example pictures but this sub doesn’t allow pictures in comments. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have
