So, I fed my female BP a fairly large meal last night. When I got home today I went to check on her like I always do. Naturally she was in here hide digesting. I noticed her cage needed a spot cleaning!! I had to pick up her hide to get to that area and was going to scoot her over a bit. I will usually rub her just a bit since she is still fairly young just to let her know it's me and I am not going to hurt her. Well, she must have been kinda full and didn't want to be messed with. She gave me that little warning BUMP! I have had several BP's in the past and have heard of the bump, but this was my first time getting it. It was so funny to have her do that. I know I probably should not have, but I had to do it again and the second time was a bigger BUMP. If it wasn't for the fact that she just at last night I would have had to see how long she would keep it up. Not wanting to risk a regurgitation, I just scooted her over a bit and done my cleaning while she just lay await and watched. I guess she realized who it was and that things were ok. She seemed to relax and wait until I returned her hide and back to bed she went.
I just had to share my experience with the bump. It was almost like she jumped straight up with her entire body. BP's are little drama queens!!!
