New Owner, Need Some Help

Hello all, I've just got my ball python around a week ago. Never had a pet like this before. His tank is set up real nice and has proper temp and humidity in both his hides.

I just had a few questions however and I'd feel better talking to other owners than looking something up on the interwebs.

So, he's a juvenile still, like I said just got him about a week ago. He's been exploring his enclosure and hiding in his areas, but yesterday and today he's been in his water bowl pretty much all day while I'm at work. Then once I get home he moves around and doesn't just sit in the water bowl. More active at night of course. I've seen on other posts that sometimes they just like to do that a lot. I don't see any signs of mites and his temps and humidity are WNL. Should I really be worried about anything so early on? Could he be preparing for shed?

Any other tips for a new owner would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks guys
