Snake doesn't like tank?

It may be that the snake is bored with the tank, of just wants to explore the outside world. Yes, it's possible that it now associates you with something it likes (being out), so it can tolerate being handled just fine. Just sounds like you have a curious snoot

Nice. Thanks! I'm going to have to hold her more often then.

Couple things here. First, you need a heat gradient between high 70's on the cool side of the tank and 90 on the hot side (that is 90 floor temp, not ambient). This can be accomplished with an under tank heater about 30%-40% of the width of your tank in size.

Second, that 10g gallon tank needs an upgrade very soon. It's already right on the edge of too small for your snek's current size.

They certainly can be curious and want to explore around outside their tanks but most likely she's looking for a warmer spot to bask on.

....are you sure? i had to get her more hides because she was acting like it was too big...
she does have a uth on the side of her tank (scared shitless of fires).

...You sure you're thinking of a ball python?

would it stress her if i rearanged her tank to make the temperature better?

It'd be worth trying to see if that's what's been making her try to get out.

Yes I am sure about the temperatures. High 70's cool side, 90 hot side, for ball pythons.

When you say the uth is on the side of the tank, you mean on one side of the bottom, right? It shouldn't be stuck to the side wall.

Tank size is fine, ball pythons can do fine in a 10 gallon tank their whole life. They really don't give a shit as long as they have a place to hide, which is why most people who own more than one opt for tubs instead of tanks. Anon who mentioned the heat pad is correct though, you want a good 90f spot with a hide that your snake can be in to properly digest it's food. Pick up a under tank heat pad and a thermostat plug in off Amazon and set it to 90. This will turn the pad off and on as needed to maintain a consistent temp. Humidity could be a big higher, around 50% or even a little more if your snake is shedding

no i ment on the side..

will the uth work underneath the bedding?

>>2345650
UTHs are made for that, anon, don't worry. Your snake needs heat from the belly rather than the side

That's a cute lil danger noodle you got there

Holy shit anon fuck off. An adult female BP would fill the entire interior of a 10g coiled up and still be spilling out over the sides. For juveniles something along the lines of a 20g long is alright. For adults you want a floor space of 36" x 18". Minimum.
