    Baby BRB laying inverted?

    So I noticed my baby BRB was laying under the paper towels today so I went to take her out from under there and noticed she was laying inverted. This struck me as odd. I have no idea why she was doing it. She seemed very normal after I picked her up and she just slithered into the plants in her enclosure. She hasn't eaten recently and it wasn't too big for her. Hot spot is set to 83* and cool side is 75*. I always keep the humidity above 70%.

    Any ideas?

    Re: Baby BRB laying inverted?

    I don't know much about BRB's other than they are pretty snakes. As long as the temps are good for them, it may have just been the way she crawled under the paper towels and went to sleep. One of my BP's did something similar a while back. I could see him in his hide laying on his side with his head sticking out almost upside down. At first I thought he was dead but then I saw him breathing so I just left him alone. A little while later I saw him going to the other hide as if nothing weird had happened so I figured he must have just been sleeping good. I probably wouldn't worry too much unless she starts doing it often or displays some other symptoms...
