So, for the last month or 2 my 2008 normal BP, who was sold to me as a female, has been acting a lot different.
She is constantly roaming and trying to push open the lid of her bin.
(I have her on a controlled UTH, at a constant 90 degrees and the ambient room temp is generally 80 degrees, but never drops below 75, and her humidity is generally 40-50%.)
She has refused food for almost 2 months now..
She knocks over her water dish every chance she gets. (I have changed substrate 3 times this week....and today after putting in fresh paper, she knocked over the water within 5 mins of putting her back in the bin...)
I have experience with mites, and I have seen no sign of them. (Or with the rest of my collection)
She began doing this directly after her last shed (which was perfect)
Up until now, I have never has an issue. Always shed perfectly, never refused a meal, never left her hide.
Now a friend of mine has suggested that these actions could suggest that "she" may actually be a "he".
Since this BP was accquired from someone who got "her" at a pet store, "she" may have never actually been sexed...who knows.
I have no idea how to "pop" or probe a snake, so I don't want to attempt it.
Any input?
Thanks in advance.
