    Strange Behavior?

    I have a Pastel male that acts quite different from the other balls in my rack. He is 215 grams, temps are 92 hot spot and 82 ambient and he is in a 12q rubbermaid tub. He eats fine, but it seems he is always out and about trying to get out. Has anybody else experienced this? Should I be worried or is this just the way he is?

    If the snake is eating it probably isn't an issue.

    Does the snake have two identical tight fitting hides?

    How much are you feeding him per week?

    I only use one hide in each of my tubs and he is eating a small rat pup 15-22 gram range every 4 or 5 days.

    maybe try giving him another hide and see if the cruising stops? If he is eating though I wouldn't be too concerned.

    Dont worry about it. Younger balls seem to move about more often, From what i noticed with my 09s. I keep my younger balls in 16 qt tubs with one hide and they all eat.

    If hes eating and temps are spot on then theres nothing to worry about.
