After feeding

[Tim Personguy]

Hi everybody =). After your snake eats how long does it just lie in its hide? Because after my snake eats, it has just stayed in its hide for the past three days. Is this normal?

Perfectly normal. Your snake is digesting its meal. A happy BP is a hiding BP.

That is almost 100% common and natural. He's just digesting

Be sure not to handle him for around 48 hours as well (so he doesn't regurgitate) and all will be fine, and he'll be a happy camper

Thanks everyone
I have noticed that he seems to prefer cooler spots so I guess thats where he's gonna digest

One of my males almost never gets into the hot spot unless he's eaten a ton. I've tried experimenting with different styles of hides, but he doesn't seem to care. I tend to keep his temps a couple degrees than the others and he seems to like that better.

100% normal, if you ate something as big around as you, you'd want to rest for a few days too :p

Mine spends over 90% of it's time in hides, usually after a meal mine goes right into the warm side hide, and sometimes I never see her out until next feeding time. I rarely catch her out of the hide but when she leaves little presents for me they are always over by the vine plant on the other side of the tank. I thinks she likes the privacy of this thick plant to do her buisness.
