    Signs that your BP is doing good?
    What are some signs of a stressed BP?
    What are some signs of a happy BP?
    How should a happy BP act while being handled vs a stressed one?

    Stressed: not eating, restless (very active), getting sick.

    Happy: eating & shedding well, keeping regular hours (resting-lying low by day, & in ambush mode at night), no signs of health issues.

    Snakes are happier when they're hiding, & feeling secure (snug in "hides" & relaxed when held close to us) as opposed to a panicky (very active) snake when held.

    Lack of activity most of the time is honestly a good sign for all my snakes. I do see them on occasion of course (especially towards evenings, doubly so if they're hungry) but nothing tells me all is well more than not seeing them at all, as bizarre as that may sound.
