Peeing so much?

    Peeing so much?
    My girl has been peeing about every 3 days for a week or two now. She's also been roaming lately at night and pushing her hides around. It's like she's stressed but I don't know why.

    Here are my potential causes:
    been rainy lately so humidity is about 70%
    changed the water bowl
    stopped using chlorine remover drops (but my local water doesn't have high chlorine anyways
    removed a fake plant that smelled
    started using chlorohexadine

    Does anyone have any insight into this?

    Edit: Tomorrow is her feeding day so maybe she's just hungry? But I've never seen her act like this. Maybe she's stressed because I keep having to go into her tub to change out substrate haha.

    How old is she? My youngest snakes seem to pee pretty frequently and then taper off as they get older.

    She's almost an adult, I'd say 1.5 to 2 years old.

    Mine has calmed down, so now perhaps it's your turn? Maybe they snakey-mail each other when we aren't looking... "Psst, I'm going back into my hide now, so you take over..." :D

    Mine's doing the same for the last 4-6 weeks. I do think it might be humidity with all the rain, etc. But he is in his hides during the day!

    My normal has also been peeing about every 3 days :weirdface It's a lot of pee. Almost half of her tub is covered in yellowness! This is strange.

    Then you haven't had the "pleasure" of being christened by your snake when it pees on you, I take it! ;)

    Ugh. Something is going on. She's been showing really stressed behavior lately like roaming and messing up her tub. She wouldn't eat tonight either. I wish I could leave her alone for a couple days, but I'm always having to change the substrate or water.
