Normal for baby to wander all over?

Yes he was hiding like that picture in the corner. I think she didn't like her sandstone rock hide. I took it out and put in a little computer parts box I had and she went nuts and now that's her favorite place except at night when she comes out now and destroys everything in the cage except the water bowl but that's because its heavy and she isn't big enough to push that yet. The probe end came with self stick tape on it which I got taped under the paper towels. Good point though, I knew any tape in a snake cage was bad as I got a 5ft baby red tail boa which when she gets hungry, she lets you know by pulling down the wires for her lights and RHP and pushes her aspen into piles. Didn't really think about the tape on the end of the probe though, better move that outside. Thanks.

My little guy is a roamer. As soon as twilight descends, he emerges and roams. He doesn't burrow he climbs, up the rock wall and into his vines. The only time he hides at night is just after he eats for 2 nights, and in shed, and then he covers the hide entrance with his cypress bedding.

Well that was painless. It came right up off the floor with tape intact and stuck right to the UTH no problem. Same reading as off the glass while checking with my temp gun so all looks good. Of course Dot(her name as she has 1 little black dot on the end of her tail) wasn't that thrilled about having me lift her box up and sliding her over so I could remove the probe to begin with. She moved about 1/4 inch and stayed there. Then I slid her back over top of the UTH and put her box back over her and back to sleep she went lol. Actually pretty calm little baby for only being in her cage for 2 days.

Yeah Dot did the same last night. The minute I turned off the lights to watch tv, she was out. Noticed because she started sliding her box hides all over and they make kind of a swishing noise like boxes being slid over paper towels :P Also she loves to knock over the display for the acurite which makes a crash and generally just destroys everything. Then come morning she is back in her little warm hide and I get to "fix" her cage all so she can redo it again later in the night :)

Oh my god your snake sounds adorable. It's pretty cute that she goes rampaging. My guy likes to sleep during the day, usually one day in hot and one day in cold. At night he's always trying to figure out how to escape.

Oh I found out why she is rampaging. She was hungry. She just ate 3 fuzzy mice over the past 2 days. I fed her one yesterday just to try since the rampaging is the same thing my red tail boa does when she is hungry and sure enough she grabbed it and ate it. Then last night she went on the war path again and destroyed her cage again so today I bought her another fuzzy which when it crawled in her hide, all I saw was the hide shake and about 3 minutes later the fuzzy was gone. Then she came out and semi war path so I got another which she grabbed and ate in no time. So the bottom line is I got her black Friday from petsmart during their 50% deal so got a 6 week old female high white pied for$200 which they said was a problem feeder and once I got her set up in her little tank she ate like a horse 2 days later is looking pretty happy. I think I got a pretty good deal. Now if I just didn't live in the dark ages and had a smart phone, I could post pics :P

My Mystic Potion wanders. Her bin wasn't closed all the way once while I was doing brief maintenance in her enclosure (refilling water bowls with fresh water), and she slipped out unnoticed for like a minute. Now all she ever wants to do is slip out again. She's like fixated on it, and wanders around the front nudging the front and top of her enclosure.

oh, my little guy loves to try pushing at his screen top, it is an exo terra tank so the clip locks are really secure. I use the front door opening to do maintenance, The front doors swing open and i have a double lock on the front. He learned real fast where the door is, cause when i am done with spot cleaning and water, he is right there looking to try his luck. I also use this opening to take him out to handle, and he seems to learn fast.

Fuzzy mice are probably way too small for a meal. They can eat hoppers right out of the egg :O

10-15% of their body weight is a good start!

Yeah I weighed her last night and she weighs 102 grams so I'm gonna try either a fuzzy rat or hopper mouse.
