    Is my BP Hungry?
    So I finally got my temps evened out, everythings good without a thermostat. Surface temp is reading surface temp at 93.1, and the bottom of the tub is 97.
    Cool side is 81, humidity is 48.

    Just now I was handling twist, and i was laying down at the bottom of my bed in the sunlight propped up on my elbows texting the lady, and he had been laying there in a semi circle just relaxing apparently. Then he saw my thumbs moving after a while lol. I knew he was going to bite me, but i've been tagged before and it doesn't even bother me anymore because i cant feel it where he's a baby. So after a while he coiled up into the signature "S" position and started inching forward, while im watching him and texting away. After a minute or so he struck my right thumb, bit down and coiled around my thumb. I took his tail and uncoiled him and he let go and was promptly put in his cage. He's never done this before, and i've done this many times with him to get him used to my presence.

    Does this mean he's hungry? I'm having my mom pick up a mouse for him when she gets off in 20, and if he takes it does that mean i should bump him up to 2 mice a week? I just fed him this monday lol.

    any help is appreciated.

    i need more info to be certain how much does he weigh how often is he fed it sounds like a "hunger strike" because he coiled a defensive strike would have been quick he wouldnt have stalked your finger IMO

    I'm unsure of how much he weighs. I just fed him on the 5th though. I dont have a scale yet. :/
