Hiding

[joe18]

My female normal used to always stay in her hide during the day, but suddenly i noticed shes been coiled up on top of the hide now during the day.
There are two hides for her; one next to the water bowl and under the heat lamp, then i have one above of a UTH, could this possibly be shes too hot in them?

How are you measuring your temps? What kind of thermometers? what are your temps?

go to walmart and get an acurite for $11. if you arent using a thermostat i guarantee its way to hot in that hide. also, remember these are ball pythons, they stay in their hides about %80 of the time.

I'm with the others; it's probably too hot in there.

That or she may have defecated in the hide. My girl is such a neat freak, she will get as far away from her feces as possible and huddle in the corner until I clean the cage out.
