    I thought BPs were nocturnal?

    It's the morning where I am at and Argon has been extremely active for the past hour or so. Monday is feeding day so I think he is hungry. Some pics through his tub and a pic when I opened his tub.

    They're definitely more active when they're hungry then when they're not. I've seen some of mine active in the early morning hours, but usually as it gets closer to noon they all go into hiding.

    You're probably right...she's getting hungry.

    Re: I thought BPs were nocturnal?

    I noticed that Argon's ambient temperature was two degrees higher than normal and he was still antsy when he was back in his normal range so I gave him a rat and after striking and coiling for twenty minutes, he finally ate and then slinked off to a hide. The other concerning behavior was he kept dragging his belly in his water dish and as soon as his bin was open,he would try to escape!
