I have a four month old bp that keeps "dancing" to get out. Husbandry has been triple checked. My hog nose will do this too, but to get food. Is this the sake case?

Is this during the day or during the night?

Hiding BPs are happy BPs, could you post a picture of your set up.
How are you measuring temps?
How are you heating your enclosure?

Right how she doesn't have substrate. I'm going to get newspaper in a monent.
Other than that hotspot is at 93 cool end at 78 . Humidity is 55 and she is in a 28quart sweater box.
The other bps are doing fine so it's not the room ...

And how are you measuring these temps?
Try lowering the hotspot to about 90.
Every BP is different, does she have a secure enough hide?

She may be in search for a more safer hiding place so try getting a smaller tighter hide see how that is working out and if that doesn't work try having the hotspot at 90f, also if you're measuring your temps with a digital thermometer then they should hopefully be accurate but you could always consider a temp gun to check temps if you don't already have one.

Out to get a new hide.

My young ball python did this too, he was hungry. I was feeding once a week, but now I feed every 5 days . He never dances at the door anymore.
