    BP's strange fascination

    So the rest of this post makes sense, here is a picture of my setup:


    I have been watching my BP late at night (2-3am) because this is when he is most active, and I have found that he has a strange fascination with the hole in the aluminum foil. I don't know if he is interested in it because its the only open space in the lid, or if it is because he is interested in the black light that sits there. Any ideas? I don't think this is some serious issue, I am just curious about behavior.

    Mine do the same thing with the opening as well I think they can sense the air flow and think it might be a way out. That, or they're going for a bit of fresh air.

    Re: BP's strange fascination

    I thought about it for awhile after I posted this, and I remember that I also pre-scent by laying the food item on that part of the screen. His tongue is constantly going while he is up there, so I guess it could have something to do with the scent.
