Hey everyone, I just picked up my first BP the other day (yay) and was told she was a garbage disposal when it comes to food, anything from live to frozen. That being said I was still nervous with the whole house swap and move that she wouldn't eat. Boy was I wrong, she took about 5 seconds to see what I was giving her and then snatched it right up. The weird part was after she was done "killing" the thawed mouse. She began to arch up and had almost her entire body in the air, easily over half of her body was in a straight line pointing up with the weight of the food being the only thing keeping her head down. If I'm explaining this poorly she looked like an upside down "J". I cant find anything like this on the web and I was just wondering if this is normal behavior. (She's about 2 months old.)

Another thing is her heat source, I'm currently using a ZooMed heat pad with a temp regulator set to 100F. Now let me explain, I also bought a IR temp gauge and after multiple setting changes got the bottom of her cage to be anywhere from 85-95F. Again, before you tell me it's too hot when I put my hand on the bottom it's only very slightly warm. She doesn't seem bothered by it and moves around her cage when the lights are off bouncing from cold spot to hot spot (most of the time in the hot spot). so my question is should I lower it and risk her getting cold in this super A/Ced house or keep it where it is.
