    I just recently got my bp and i'm still letting it settle in. My bp is very active at night and really likes to use his hides during the day. I haven't seen him bathe yet, but i have seen him drink.

    i was wondering how all of your bp's were, when settling in their new homes. how did they act?

    Buying dvd

    when i first brought nellie home she spent hours exploring the tank and everything in it. after the first night she settled down and started using her hides, which now i am lucky to catch her out of. i have yet to see her soak or drink. she pretends to be shy until i get her out at which point she is crawling through my hair and down my shirt and all over me.

    Keep in mind, Royal/Ball Pythons are nocturnal.
    The sleep/hide during the day, and come out to explore late at night, or early morning to some

    Boo reacts the same way as your BP is. Right now she is settling in to her new home too, and she is out mostly at night exploring her tank or climbing on her new climby thingy. During the day she is mostly in her hides, though she will come out sometimes for alittle exploring, or maybe she will sit up on the climby thing for an hour or 2.

    I don't know how she'll settle yet. I should be able to tell you within a day or two. FINALLY getting my bp tommorrow afternoon. I'm so excited my stomach is in knots....sounds weird but this is something I've been wanting for years(always wanted a snake) and just 4 months ago I decided on a ball. So yeah...probably won't sleep tonight.
