Re: BP's and stormy weather
He hatched last July and I've only had him since October, so these are really the first storms he's experienced with me...I know the breeder has a huge facility, so maybe it sounds/feels different in an old house and he's just curious. I'm not worried, he's a bit of an odd ball (pun intended) anyway :weirdface
Re: BP's and stormy weather
He's probably just doing it for attention. ;)
Re: BP's and stormy weather
I believe most animals are sensitive to changes in barometric pressure and storms are usually just that. They are often the line of demarcation between two different barometric pressure systems. Fish and deer tend to feed more heavily out in front of inclement weather. Many people will pair ball pythons when there is impending bad weather. I have also found that the day after a storm I usually wake to find many of my snakes have made a mess of their tubs. I believe it's similar to women going into labor during low pressure systems. They say that the reduced pressure on the outside of the body will make the internal pressure seem more significant and may promote labor to begin in women who are already close.
