    Strange or not?

    I fed my 1 1/2 month old female pastel 2 small fuzzy mice two days ago. She ate them both with no problems, but she spent most of the day yesterday and today outside of her hide underneath a branch on the hot side of the tank.

    Is this normal or is something wrong?

    It's normal, i'm pretty sure the heat aids in digestion

    It's normal. All snakes need some form of heat to help them digest their food. And every once in awhile bps will decide to lay outside of their hides. As long as you have secure hides (one on the cool side and one on the warm) available for her and your temps and humidity are correct, then I wouldn't be worried
