    As long as your husbandry is good (temps are spot on, she eats appropriate sized meals, she has enough hides, etc) sounds like just an active snake. My Spider ball is like that. Wake up EVERY morning and plants are knocked over, substrate in her water dish...and there she is in her hide just sleeping away like, "What?!?".

    And on the other end of the spectrum, I have a Normal that just hides ALL the time.

    Maybe get a heavier hide, water dish, etc.

    My normal likes to re-arrange his hides every now and then. As long as your husbandry is ok I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    LOL.. I just recently got a Adult spider male and he DESTROYS his cage, he tips over His water bowl, and always seems to put his paper towels into his bowl. I actually took out a ceramic bowl because he was tipping that. And ironically, both my normals do nothing but hide..

    On the other note!

    X2 if temps humidity and meals are right the right sized you shouldn't have a problem. You just have a "python regius destructics" aka, a Ball that loves to Mess up there cage. ;)

    I wouldn't put much worry in though if you have correct husbandry.

    My Butter Spider knocks the thermometer over and waits for me to put it back in place just to do it again! I personally feel its her way of getting me to open the tub so she can crawl around when I slide it out.

    I usually like to use a couple of layers of newspaper for my snakes. One doesn't usually cause problems, but my pastel LOVES to find ways to dig under his newspaper and even rips it up! Sometimes snakes are just renovating. I know Shilo hates it when I clean his cage, instead I've just been ripping off dirty newspaper and putting it away instead of all the newspapers. :) Try a heavier hide, or just let her renovate. :D
