    Hey guys got a 3 and half year old female and she seems to want to be out all night this.is the third night she has stayed out with me from around 10pm to 5 am and I'm wondering am I stressing her? There is no signs of it she is always very curious about everything and every night sh it's like she knows cause when I open her cage she come straight to me I just don't wanna keep her out like this if it stresses her without me seeing any signs of it thanks for all your replies!

    Most BP's will seem to want to be out with you at night. They are nocturnal and so will do the majority of their activity at night. I don't believe she specifically wants you to get her out. Mine is always laying against the doors, sliding against them and that. I just leave him in there to get on with his business. I don't know if you are stressing her out, but I doubt it is great for her.

    Hi,

    It depends on a few things really. Generally it isn't done because the temps might be less than ideal and the risk of escapes or getting inside small spaces you can't get them out of.

    Is she still eating ok and do you leave her alone in her enclosure for 48 hours after a meal?

    I have let my big blood lay with me for a few hours at a time and have never had an issue and I keep a cold home. She just lays on me and Im her heat mat. I don't keep the others out for long bouts because they are more interested in exploring than just lounging with me. As long as its eating and acting right I would say your fine.

    yes she eats fine and I wait 3 days after to attempt holding her and my temp in my house is usually between 78 to 82 or higher and humidity is usually always above 50% in my house. I have no ac lol
