Peeing so much?

I put a towel over her tub last night (saw this advice in anothe thread :gj:) and I'm going to leave her alone for a couple days. Hoepfully she'll calm down/ But for now she'll just have to live with her newsprint substrate pushed all over the place. :)

Maybe the humidity is a bit too high? Ball pythons can be picky at times.

It was higher earlier in the summer when it rained every day and she wasn't stressed by that. Who knows though.

Hmmm, have there been any changes in your bps environment, or in the house?

Nothing in the house that I can think of. I did change her water bowl since she kept spilling her other one, but I'd be surprised if that caused stress for more than a couple days.

If you really want to settle her down - fill her enclosure with loosely crumpled newspaper - to the brim. I promise it works! After she's settled down - start to "wean" her off of it, taking out a piece every few days.

Another thought - are you still having weather fronts rolling through? If so - she may be sensitive to the barometric changes in the atmosphere. The newspaper trick will help.

Not many storms in the area now, but the humidity has been changing a little over the past couple days.
I'll try the newspaper trick - thanks!
