    REALLY active bp

    My 5 month old BP has been extreamly active for the past 4 days and is rarely in his hide or sleeping which i know is a very uncommon thing for a BP to do, the temps are....

    cool side = 77-81 usualy droppes at night cause its winter now.

    hot side= 89-91.

    humidity= 50-60 %

    since the temps and humidity for me seem pretty good is it just that he might be hungry?

    When did you last feed him? And what size prey? Yeah, he could be hungry.

    BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.
    0.1.0 pastel bp
    1.0.0 spider bp
    0.1.0 albino bp
    1.0.0 bumblebee bp
    1.0.0 yellowbelly bp
    0.0.1 normal bp
    1.0.0 normal western hognose


    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    With the right husbandry and feeding proper size (15% of the snakes weight or prey the size of the thickest part of the snake) there is no need to worry.
    As long as the snake is eating that is.
