    Knock knock knockin'

    One of my girls has decided that she's a designer BP - an interior designer! I kept hearing this knocking sound one night a couple of weeks ago after cleaning, and it was my Superpastel, who had gotten into her hide and was lifting it up to turn it at an angle. I guess I didn't put it in there the way she wanted - upset the feng shui or something! If her hide isn't perfectly aligned, she will get in there and move it over so that it's always the exact same angle - a little OCD? She's so cute! Is anyone else's BP finicky about the furniture?

    Mine move their waterbowls and hides all over the place. I have smaller bins in racks, so I only use one hide, or a combo water bowl/hide. They will pick them up and carry them to whatever side they prefer to be on, lol.

    Too cute!! I put a humid hide in while she was shedding she went under the thing instead of in it. Also everytime I clean her home...she will go into one of her hides and burrow under it to get to the other side....don't go around it...no no...under it. Pretty funny!!

    Mine does the same thing -- I have two upturned bowls as his hides, and every time we move them, he will spend half an hour nudging them back into the right position. He likes them both in the center of the tub, with the doors facing opposite directions. It's weird, it's the same position every time.

    Many of my snakes move their hides and water bowls around, but not with any rhyme or reason. They tend to just knock things around as they crawl around.

    Oh god my Normal girl constantly does this. I set everyones tubs up identically and then I check on her in the morning and everything is messed up. Hide is pushed against the front of the tub, all the paper towels are crinkled together and the water bowl has moved from the front of the tub to somewhere in the back.

    I guess she just gets bored with the same old scenery XD

    I got one snake no matter how I set her water bowl she flips it over and then resets it like I don't want that nasty public water.

    Mine usually only puts something where he wants it once...and will then sit on top of his rock and GLARE at me if I dare to move it. I once disturbed the feng shui of his branch, he immediately came out and gave me the death stare until I put it back, mumbling apologies.
