hiding the past 3 days

its been 3 days since my bp has came out of his hides.hes usually very active so today i took his hide out to check on him but his eyes are normal and his belly isnt pink.he shed around dec 12 the last time could he be just starting his new shed cycle.hes 2 feet long and im not sure how old he is though.any ideas?

As long as his husbandry is good, it could very well be that he's comfortable and sees no need to leave his hide and wander around.

have you changed anything in his environment lately? Mine tend to hide most of the time when they're comfortable which is why they're in tubs now.

i put him in a 20 gallon long last week but he was still the same allways out at night.i think he might be in the early stages of a shed cuz last time he hid alot too but im not sure if they shed that often i though i was every 3 months?im still i little scared of him even though he comes out everyday exept after feeding so i dont like picking him up he alway crawls out on my hand by himself

If he is very active then there is a big possibility your husbandry is wrong. MOST Bp's spend all day hiding. Nothing unusual. If you are sure your husbandry is correct then possibly you have a very active snake.

He might just be an active snake, as Jeff posted. My bp is active and husbandry is correct, but he'll end up hiding and not be active day or night when he's about to shed, just before, during, and a bit after.

It could be that your little one is ready to shed, as you said it's about time.

Yeah my pastel is ALWAYS out at night without fail, but my others are content to stay in their hides.

i think it might be just starting to shed.the husbandry is right i have 4 digital thermos and 2 digital hygros going all day i guess im still getting used to him.he is very active snake and will usually come out when i get home from work and most of the night too.so do they shed every month when their little?

Roughly. There's no real set time limit for them to shed.

cool thats probably what it is then. i just took the top of the tank and he didnt come out and when i touched him he didnt seem to like it which is the exact opposite of his normal behavior
