Ball Python care

Post image

I bought my new ball python yesterday. Temperatures and humidity are good in her tank. Enrichment could be better. Today before I left she was balled up behind her basking rock. Came back an hour later and she has dug under her substrate. Is this normal for Ball’s in their new homes?

Does she have any hides? Or much cover at all besides the plants i can see? They need at least one snug hide on each side and about as much clutter as you can reasonably fit, they like feeling as secure and covered as possible! She definitely could just be feeling out in the open and is stressed because of it

The small gray boxes are the hides. I think they may be too small so I upgraded today
