    Is my bp ok?

    Im a new snake owner so im not sure if this will be a dumb question or not.
    I fed my bp a fuzzie thursday night and all he has done since then is coil up and sleep. Im guessing its normal because his system need to digest the fuzzie but I just wanted to ask and make sure hes ok. thanks

    Hi, and welcome to BP.net.


    So long as you're willing to learn, there's no such thing as a "dumb question."

    Yes, it's perfectly normal for a BP to disappear and sleep for several days after eating. In fact, a healthy, content BP will usually spend 95% of its time asleep in one of its hides.

    Don't hesitate to ask whatever you need to!

    Hi,

    Yes, that sounds perfectly normal - it always makes me think of grandpa snoozing after a heavy christmas dinner.
