Is evening activity, such as attempting to get out of the tank, necessarily a sign of stress? How common is it for BP to actively explore most of the night? I'm asking because i have a 1 yr old who truly wants to get out and whether he wants to be held or traveling around the room or whatever, at night he obviously really wants to be out. Just putting him back in the tank and getting the cover back on before he pops his head out again takes some doing. During the day he stays in his hide. I've been told that this is a bad sign - that he is exhibiting "stress", but I'm curious to hear from others whether their BP share this behavior. From everything I've read, it seems that behaviors greatly vary among this species. Is there any scientific or even observational data to suggest that this snake is stressed out? Thanks.
