    Change in behavior...

    So I've had my BP since late October... He's been in this enclosure for that long with no changes and he's been an awesome snake. Eats F/T without a problem and is typically in one of 3 hides. I feed every 10 days and have since I got him. He's a shy snake and generally only sticks his head out of his hide. I handle him around 4 times a week.

    Well for the past 3 days he's been ultra active. Pretty much out of the hides crawling around non-stop (at night). He is still okay with me handling and isn't even going into a defensive posture when I take him out.

    I honestly don't think I have much to worry about but is this something others have experienced?

    Personally i have had this happen. There are times when they just roam and check things out. I have a few that are more curious than others. If he is eating once a week and has the proper setup there shouldn't be a problem with some exploring.

    Unless he is hungry I can't think of any other reason. From time to time mine will go on roaming sprees. As long as it isn't constant he should be fine :3
