    Why isnt my BP very active?
    i know they are night time animals and all and i know they like to feel secure, but she never comes out of her hide.. why is that? my friend has 2 and there all over the place.

    your snake is not stressed out.you should feel good your doing a great job!look at about 3 to 4 in the morning.it will be out around that time if not it might be a dawn snake.i have one that comes out as soon as i turn the lights off and another that wont come out until dawn.is your friends husbandry good?if it is not the ball is prolly trying to get the hell outta there to a more comfortable spot

    why?if she is tucked away in the hide that is good!if you go changing things up this can lead to stress,which leads to not eating and cruising the tank vigorously

    yes.is it the one in your image gallery?i just checked it out.
    you should not rearrange it until you get newer stuff.

    one question.do you leave that light on 24 hours a day?

    mine usually come out around 1am or so. BP's are gona spend about 90% of their time hidden, thats just their nature. i you wanted something more active get a corn or a hog.

    that light would be a bad thing.they need a light cycle.i use a black light 24 hours a day but they cant see that.you might wanna try a ceramic heat emitter for ambiant temps or a blue moon bulb or black light.that is definatly the reason it never comes out.just turn that light out and see for your self.i bet within a hour its out and about
