Is it natural that a royal python spends most of its time in the cold part of the tank she's only 9 weeks x

best bet is to leave them alone for a week once brought home only going in to spot clean and change water b4 offering food, they can take a while to settle in. pinky mice or rat pinkies? personally i would be offering rat pups or fluffs ideally the food weight wants to be 10/15% of the weight of the snake.

whats your set up you have her in and your temps?

Pinky mice and I've set the tank up how my reptile shop advised me they said I don't need the lamp yet as she's only small but will need it when she gets bigger but its got two hides 1 in the warm and 1 in cold and she has her water in the cold x

you would be better with rat pups, pinky mice are too small. do you know your hot and cold end temps? ideally they want to be 32c hot end and 26c cold end
