Snake acting weird
So my girl Samantha today has been very weird, all she has done is search her cage, temps are good humidity is good, but all she does is hunt around, I feed every week a small rat, she's due on Sunday but has never been this active before feeding!! I even thought maybe mites but she is spotless, I'm guessing its cause my rodent room is within a few feet of her cage and my weekly cage clean is Sunday,but this is still the first time that she has been this restless, I know she is fine but a hiding ball is a happy ball so I'm just trying to figure out what's up, I'm guessing that I've got 5 litters of mice going and she can smell the added mice, does that sound about right?

If you are sure your husbandry is correct then it might be the rodents. (you don't have an unregulated UTH or anything like that right?)
If its just a feeding response, feeding the snake should stop this behavior. If it continues after you feed the snake you will need to double check your husbandry.

Ya, I'm 100% sure on the husbandry, the UTH is on a stat, I double checked with my temp gun, just to make sure everything is working correctly, tomorrow is feeding day so we will see! I'll post an update

So tonight was feeding night and after she got her rat, away to her hide she went!!i figured as much but it's still nice to have things normal again!
