i have a 4 or 5 month old ball python that up intel last week was a very good eater. he dose very well with frozen mice. or he did, i recently got a baby red tail and set up his cage about 5 feet away from my ball. i always wash my hands after handling both so i don't spread any parasites or any thing els. is there anyone that can help? please i love this snake and am getting worried. should i try feeding live? what should i do? he acts like hes scared of the mouse hes very jumpy and every night hes been very active and tryes to get out. i am using towels for substrate but this happened before i made the switch. i have a heat pad and a red light on a 24 hour cycle and a basking light on 12 hours on and 12 hours of. the humidity is always above 50%. he lives in a 40 gallon tank and has a hide on both ends of his house, cool and hot side.
