    A BP's sense of weather.
    So I've been curious about something for a while. Can BPs sense the changes in the weather?

    My baby is usually very active in the evenings and I always see her cruising about. However, when it's rather freezing outside, even though the temps in her tank stay the same, she tends to hide and be in quite a mood until it starts to get warmer out.

    Have you guys ever experienced mood swings in your BPs when the weather changes?

    They sense barometric pressure i.e weather fronts

    Mine does this. She usually has a schedule of hiding all day, then coming out to cool off in the evening, but when it's raining, she hides all day.

    Same way some people can tell if they get headaches or their joints ache.

    That's pretty interesting...I was going to ask something similar. My boy has been cruising around his cage ALL night...much more active than normal. Guess he sensed the snow front we're getting? Weird.
