    dumb question

    i fed my baby bp about 30 hrs ago it was his first meal in 4 weeks, and he hasnt moved at all from his hide since he ate, it was a pretty decent sized meal. is it unusual for them to sit for that long after eating (it wasnt a f/t either it was live)

    Is this the one that wouldn't eat for you? That's normal. They are very inactive for a few days when digesting. Most of the time anyway.

    My thoughts exactly. I peek in on Java every day just to check his temps and health but otherwise you'd only know he was alive by the fact that he's sometimes curled in a different hide.
