Snakey isn't using her hot spot?

Hi all,

I've noticed that my bp (about 7 months old) isn't using her warm hide at all, even after she's eaten. The hot spot is regulated by a thermostat that keeps it between 89 and 91 degrees F. Her other hide ranges from 78 to 82 degrees. I'm wondering if this behavior is a cause for concern. Also, she hasn't pooped for almost a month now, but she's done that before.

Thanks in advance!

My adult recently stayed on her cool side for well over a month.

Now she goes back and forth, but mainly straying cool.

As far as yours not defacating, I would not be concerned unless nothing happend after a few meals.

All my snakes vary between sides. Cool side about 82-84 and warm about 90-95 and they go were they want. My most recent young one(3-4mnths) goes to either side for days at a time. Some of mine stay on the cool side even after a meal. As far as defecating usually after couple meals. They are definitely not on a regular schedule.

As long as they don't show any really worrying signs, don't worry about it. Snakes can look after themselves, they don't need humans moving them to and from the cool side.

Must be rough going without a minute of sleep, day after day.

Must be rough being a rude and unhelpful individual.

Bps don't exactly dart around, I think I'd know if she had moved.

Please ignore him, almost all of his posts are not very helpful at all.

Try dropping it a couple degrees and see if she uses it.
