Why is My Bp Doing This?

[DJ Whut It Dew]

just wondering... she never used to come out of her hide before... now she comes out and sits right under the heat source. is there something wrong or wat? Help me out.... plz.

If you could let us know what your setup is like, that would be helpful

Tank or Tub?
Ambient Temps?
Hot Side?
Cool Side?
Humidity?
Heat Sources? UTH? Heat Lamp?
Hides? How many?

How are you measuring temps & humidity?

If you could answer those questions we'll be headed in the right direction

if it is just coming out and sits in the hot side you should probably check your temps.

[DJ Whut It Dew]

the temps are in the 90's.... humidity in the 50's and 60's

Can you be a little more specific? Is it 90 on the hot side? Or is that your ambient temp?

Are you using a digital thermometer with probes?

[hawaiianice99]

you arent using that analog dial to measure your humidity are you? if you are you need to change that. good example why, i used to use those when i changed over to digital i found that the humidity levels were actually around 15-20 lower than what the dial was reading.

other than your snake just trying to thermoregulate i say its ok.

[DJ Whut It Dew]

yea im using a digital... it changes between 90- 95. then i turn off the light to cool it off. and then when its too cold i turn it back on.

[hawaiianice99]

i see you are using a digi temp gauge, i was talking about your humidity gauge. your pics show a dial type.

yea i dont have the money to get the 2 in 1

Are you only using a light as the heat source? Or are you using a UTH as well?

BP's need a temperature gradient in order to thermoregulate. I doubt a light alone will accomplish that.

The snake could very well be stressed out from the temp fluctuations. Just a thought.
