Lazy Ball?

[pinkham64]

i was wondering if anyone else has a Bp like me..... mine only comes out of her hide for maybe like 2hrs a day..... and most of that time is to bask and then the rest is cruisin around the cage....

hahah..... thats just normal ball python behavior

Sounds pretty much like our baby BP, cruises out of the warm hide, maybe stops for a drinky poo, cruises into the cool hide....occasionally checks out a few cage decorations....pretty much it all in all.

Hey I wanna be a Ball Python in my next life...sounds like a good deal!

same to report here - he tends to go in cycles. He's usually pretty lazy but some nights he is out and about! (Usually the night before I feed him) Good ol' BP's always showing us that no matter how much time we watch TV - there's a whole new level of lazy out there.

Link sometimes doesn't even come out of his rock hide. When he does it's usually because he is hungry.

2hrs a day? i'm lucky if Trigger comes out for 2 hrs a WEEK unless i TAKE him out. i almost NEVER see him cruisin around on his own volition, and i'm a night owl.... i mean, right now i'm making this post at 3:15am. usually i'm in bed right now, but i was just watching Trigger cruise his tank cuz, like i said, he's NEVER out. the only reason why he was out just now was cuz i took him out for a couple minutes & "woke his lazy butt up"

some bps are cruisers some are not. one of my girls did not come out of her hide at all for the first 6 months i had her but now she is out and about every night. i'd like to hide in a dark place all day and come out at night to cruise too.

All of mine are out, usually every night, cruising around their tanks.
If your BPs are not out nightly; are their temperatures right? I think it's pretty normal for them to come out every night. But I have noticed, that those in shed do not tend to come out much even at night.

i think a lot of it also has to do with how comfortable they are in their surroundings and also how old they are. youngers bps tend to be more shy so they hide more. if you haven't had your bp for very long they are still adjusting and may hide. one of my new females hasn't shown her pretty little face for me at all but she is very young and i have only had for a little over a week. on the other had i recently got a more mature female and she was out and about and not shy at all right from the start.
