My ball python never comes out. she just hides. Why is this?

Are you sure it never comes out? It might be moving around late at night when everything's been quiet for a while. Where do you keep it? Is it kept somewhere with a lot of traffic? If it's anything like the snakes I've kept in the past it won't come out very often if there's a lot of movement through the area. What are your temps and humidity like? It may just be uncomfortable in the cage. It's been probably 10 years or so since I had a BP but the one I had didn't move a lot until I got the cage heat and humidity set up perfectly. It didn't really move around much then either. They just aren't that active, IME. Just in case, here's a good caresheet for BPs. http://www.kingsnake.com/ballpythonguide/

How many hides do you have, and what's the cage like etc. Sometimes ball pythons can be very shy. I see mine all the time though, unless he's going into shed.
