    My BP just kind of chills in one hide for several hours.
    Now this isn't aimed at anyone in here as we don't know what their setups are like .... BUT there are so many threads and posts around showing a Royal / Ball python in his Viv ( more commonly a RUB ) kept on kitchen roll , a hide and a little water bowl and then a comment at the end like " I love my little guy but I just wish he'd do something , he just stays in his hide all day " !!!

    My question is 'what the devil is he supposed to do in that set up ? '

    If you add logs and branches and fix some fake foliage against the walls you'd see that they're actually very interesting and will climb for hours ( in the evenings ) .

    Some even criticise them for only making an appearance in the evening despite Royals being nocturnal .

    Rant over . Apologies .

    When I first got mine, he would come out at 10 pm on the dot and explore the cage for about an hour, but now that he's settled in, he's in the hide most of the time. In the morning he's always in the opposite of whichever hide he was in when I went to bed.

    Even my kids that are in their featureless quarantine tubs will poke their head out and sit in the wait pose in the evening. So they're not entirely pet rocks, but yes they will be more encouraged to come out and do something if there is something to do.
