What the title says. My baby BP escaped her tank when I forgot to put the lid on. Found her after about four-ish hours? I'm not sure how long she spent out, but when I found her she was very cold and didn't move. Sat with her for a bit and now she´s warmed and acting like normal. In the future that lid is getting quadruple checked. I'm so glad nothing bad seems to have happened. She's alive, not hurt, and most of all my dog didn't find her.
That being said, is there anything I should keep an eye out for? She seems totally ok now but that really gave me a scare and as a new BP owner I want to make sure I'm doing things right. Any tips on feeding would also be appreciated-she didn't eat last week or the week before and as she's rather skinny I don't want this extra stress make her miss meals 3 weeks in a row. Tank is a 10 gal, 88 degree hot spot 76-78 cold spot, two hides, and 50-60 humidity. It was rough getting the temps/humidity right and I'm guessing that`s why she hasn't eaten, but I finally got them stable for a week (thanks to advice here) and now this happens. Ugh.
