Re: Switching Atmospheres?
I don't know much yet, but I believe that it does stress them to make big changes. Their sense of security and territory gets disrupted and they have to check everything out and establish that it's safe all over again.
I try to make only one change at a time if possible. Add one piece of furniture or move something, wait a week and make sure he feeds, then make the next change, etc.
I am currently converting my BP from a small tub to a large enclosure and making it naturalistic....it's been a long process but so far he has seemed very content with it...he's sleeping well and eating well.
So that's my thoughts and my limited experience. Sorry I didn't notice this thread sooner :)

I am sure it will stress them out with big changes like that. In fact, lots of movement is a sign of stress usually.

He still eats fine. Still keeps to his hides. They're not huge hides, but i switch it up sometimes. I haven't noticed anything unusual with the changes. But i kind of figured it added some stress.
