    Re: Staying in hide?

    Yes, its very normal. he/she just wants to say in her little enclosed area and take the time to sit and digest her meal.

    My BP always stays in his hide after a meal. He usually only comes out at night a few days after his meal has digested.

    I happy ball python will spend a majority of its time in the hide. They are not highly active animals and a snake that constantly roams its enclosure is stressed.

    Most of their activity occurs when we are sleeping, unless of course you're one of those people that is up till 4am; then you will most likely see them cruising around their cages.

    That will do it

    Make sure to bump that humidity to 60-70% until she sheds.
