Chirping and Burrowing
Okay so my ball python sometimes makes a really weird noise – it’s a ‘chirp’ or a ‘meep’, almost like a bird. Very high-pitched squeak. She’ll do this only on occasion, maybe once or twice a month, seems tied to annoyance. I think it’s pretty cute, personally, but is this normal or just an individual quirk? She’s done this ever since I got her.
Also, this snake has a creative streak – at night when she’s active, she will sometimes spend her evening building tunnels in her aspen bedding. The network is becoming rather complex. I know that bp’s live in burrows, but they’re not really a ‘burrowing’ species… are they? I just wonder what goes through my python’s brain when she decides she wants a tunnel.
(This is not due to inadequate hides or heat; I follow this site’s caresheet to the exact degree and she only burrows when she’s normally active/roaming at night.)

My friend's Miloh does that almost every night. She will wake up to bedding pushed everywhere and tunnels here and there.

Re: Chirping and Burrowing
my male bp likes to move his hides around at night. I go to bed, and next morning he has moved both hides all around the tank. kinda weirded me out at first, but sometimes I shut off most of the lights and watch him. its kind of funny
