....is it normal for my Ball to have 3 weeks pass and not "litter" once??? Suppose its the temperature problem, but what happens when your "child" mostly goes to the cooler hide spot where it is 25ºC(80ºF) rather than the hot spot which is 30ºC(80-90ºF)??? It gets me a bit "anxious" *lol* because he needs to digest his food properly in the warmer side, but spends more time in the cooler spot XD...no wonder he didn't **** yet Ah well, any idea why this could be? going to the cooler side to digest food instead of the warmer side?
Oh btw...his enclosure is 50x50x50cms...vvv heres a pic of it and him thanks and cheers

If you have everything set up properly, and it sounds like you do, then the snake will take care of the rest. Don't worry about it!

I guess I shouldn't say it sounds like you have everything set up properly because you really didn't give all your setup information. But make sure he has a hide spot on the cool side and the warm side. Balls like to hide so if you have just one hide then he will go to that place wether it is on the cool side or warm side.
