Is my girl bored?

I don't even know if snakes can be bored. She might be happy as can be who knows. But she's getting bigger and she use to climb all the time now she just like hangs out, outside her hides or inside them, she moves around to different spots but she doesn't seem as entertained as she use too...

a hiding BP is a happy BP, they do not need any form of entertainment. a BP that is cruising around is either a sign of hunger (if at night) or stress

I think that's normal. My male, when he was younger, used to be very active at night (and by very active, I mean, climb everywhere, drop and try again, making a lot of noise in the process :rolleyes: ). Now I don't hear as much activity at night, and even in the evening he doesn't move around as much.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm sure he would still escape if an opening were to be left open all night…

Sounds like you have a very normal ball python. BP's have a brain about the size of a black eyed pea...they don't have a lot of room in there for being bored, and most of what's left is constantly occupied with trying to figure out how much wood a wood chuck could chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

Yup, he sounds content now. (Thinking about woodchucks, LMAO).

Or a spoiled brat lap snake who wants out to go watch TV with me for hours.

He really, really resents being a snake.

If it were up to him, he'd be on my lap, 24/7.

[tonight he trashed his house *again*, knocking over his tree, throwing his hides around and waving himself all around every time I went in the room just to be sure I'd notice but alas, last night was feeding night so he gets no TV or cuddlin' until tomorrow]

:D

[and he's not the worst one...my BCI is asking for cable] LOL

Yea, I think that as they get older, they learn that some of the 'stupid' ideas they had are simply stupid and prefer to relax...
