    Advice???

    I have a yearling salmon boa that I am concerned about. I have had him for the entire year and watched him grow very well. He eats every time i offer.(once a week). A while ago he had some issues with not pooping. He now is healthy and pooping normal. My concern is that he always lays in the same spot and doesn't move much. He occasionally goes in his hide to warm up, but for the most part he lies in one spot in the middle of the tank. The temps are all good but I know the humidity is low. I spray his tank often to help with that. But my question is, is he just not happy or are my conditions making him unhappy? Would love your guys' input

    Maybe he is just comfy in the center of the enclosure.

    My little one spends 80% of her time hanging out on her branch. She'll go to her warm hide once in a while to warm up, but other than that, she's on her branch in the same spot. She's very active when she comes out to play, but in her enclosure, she's very sedintary.

    If your baby is otherwise active when you take him out and he's eating regularly, he should be just fine!
