I just got a baby ball python from a breeder at a reptile show on saturday. He is a little over a foot long, seems to be healthy, sleeps during the day, gets moving at night. Drinks from the water bowl, hasn't gone in it yet. Breathing is fine, no white marks or indication of parisites, everything seems to check out, EXCEPT....

When holding him, every now and then he will open his mouth, kinda like he's yawning, I've looked into his mouth and there doesn't seem to be any signs of redness or discoloration. He has not eaten yet, however being brought into a new enviornment, I wouldn't expect him to. Right now I have frozen fuzzies for him but he doesn't seem interested. After I let it thaw, and get room temp, i'll place it in with him. He knows it's there, stopping right over it to flick it's toungue for a scent a few times but then ignores it. I ment to ask when I bought him, whether he was on live or frozen (he had frozen for sale, so I guess I assumed). I don't really want to waste any more frozen ones and I don't really want a live one that he's not going to eat.

Is this something I should get worried about (cuz I am)?
