Hiding

Seems like my BP NEVER leaves her hide. Could this be because she is scared or stressed out?? Or maybe that thing is just way to comphy?! She used to move around quite a bit at night time atleast.:confused:

they just love to be somewhere tight and dark and quiet. They do tend to venture out more at night. As long as she is eating, drinking, pooping well, I wouldn't worry to much about it.

ive seen here that a hiding bp is a happy bp.

That is true, a hiding bp is a happy bp

Dang, I had already crafted hiding is happy but see that it's been said already.

She cruises at night because that's when she's active and hunting. Cruising in the daytime means something's not right.

When it comes to BPs...theyre pet rocks that eat rodents every now and then.

the problem is she hasnt been eating!

how long have you had her? the rule of thumb here is to wait on feeding for the first week or two, to let them adjust to their new home...im gonna wait two weeks just to make sure my snake has had plenty of time to adjust...

I also am new to the snake owners world but I am enjoin it very much
(I have had my snake for 5 days it came in his own cage witch was a good thing but it was nasty with no hide and starven so after haven him 24 hours I decided to go ahead and try to feed him and he ate pretty fast so I feed him another mice and waited 24 hours to clean his cage because it was truely nasty and I not that kinda person and I made him a nice cave to go into and the first day he was still active then guess he found out he liked his hide because he doest hardly come out during the day but in the morn it looks like he has redesigned it him self so he is coming out at night good luck with your snake and you got the best of help on this web sight people are great here and very helpful good luck

Well if shes not eating lets start off by doing this

What is she housed in?
What are her hides?
What is her hotspot temp?
What is her ambient temp?
What is her humidity?
How long have you had her?

Also how are you heating the cage and what are u measuring with.

Husbandry would be one reason she is not eating would also explain why she was moving around a lot before.

This is so true. My BP is so temperamental. If everything isn't right she want move at all or eat. I mean I have only had her a week but my humidity wasn't right when I had everything set up and she would no longer explorer her tank. Once I fixed that she was fine and was back to herself.
