A little over a month ago I got a year-old female BCI. For the first couple of weeks I had her, she was always out and about in her tank, usually wrapped around the branch or curled up between the glass and the water dish. However, the last few weeks I noticed she's always hiding. I know this can be a sign that something's wrong, so I figured I'd ask the experts.
She's fine otherwise. When I handle her she's just as active and jumpy as ever, her skin and eyes are bright and clean, she did miss one feeding but took the next, and otherwise seems normal.
So because of that, I assume she's just trying to escape the summer heat (it ups the temps in her tank a few degrees, but not enough to be detrimental, don't worry; still in the right range), but I'd just like to be safe. I need to take her to a vet soon anyway to see about getting her microchipped, so yeah.
