Is this normal bp behavior?
I got my first bp a few weeks ago! Rocky has eaten 3 f/t mice (fuzzies) so far, so that is going well. For the first three weeks he seemed to be in his hide on warm side constantly. I only saw him out of the hide one time at night. I’ve handled him several times a week and that part is fine also. And he’s pooped twice. So my question is now after 3 weeks of constant hiding, he is out and about roaming the cage, knocking over his fake plant, and pushing his hides around. I am just wondering if he’s hungry, like the fuzzies aren’t big enough for him, or is this just that now he’s finally comfortable enough to come out and explore? Sorry if this is a dumb question but he’s my first snake.
I was going to add a pic but I have no idea how lol

Yeah, he's looking for food. Fuzzies are WAAAY too small for a BP. They eat hoppers right out of the egg, typically for 3-5 meals and quickly move on to small adult mice.
This feeding chart should help you moving forward.

That puzzled me too, so I pm'd him the chart, & got this response:
"Cause I'm not a VIP member on the tap talk app and they want me to pay to view full size pictures. I appreciate you sending me this. This is very helpful information."
All's well that ends well...
