    Babies under the newspaper?

    Whats the best way for keeping my younger BP's from going under the newspaper? Or is this not a big deal?

    Same thing here. Some just enjoy the newspaper rather than a hide.. ? I have a few snakes where I've taken the hide out all together b/c it's as useless as giving them carrots to much on
    If thats what makes them happy, eat, grow, etc.... then so be it

    Re: Babies under the newspaper?

    Yep we have some that will burrow under anything (newspaper, aspen, whatever) no matter if their temps are perfect, they've got a lovely empty hide sitting there....they just like to burrow I guess. I don't normally mind except the ones on newspaper that managed to go under the newspaper and flip their water bowl in the process.
