    New bp owner question

    Is it normal for my bp to get a little lethargic after eating? She usually sits in her hide during the day and then gets a little more active at night. She recently had a bad shed that I was able to help her with. That was on tuesday. She then ate 2 adult mice yesterday and hasn't moved much since. She is just curled up it the corner of her enclosure. Not going into her hide and not really any more active at night. I just want to make sure she is ok and that this is normal behavior.

    What about the opposite? It is odd if the BP is active within a couple hours after feeding?

    Usually when this happens to my BP, he is still hungry.

    Re: New bp owner question

    I agree with this last post - still hungry, so might want to look at feeding something bigger to your snake. My ball disappears for quite some time after a meal but I can see that she moves a bit overnight. My boa (when I was feeding her mice) would stick her head out of her hide shortly after swallowing the second one, seeming to be looking for more. I just fed her her first rat last night and have not seen anything from her this morning (but it is also cold and rainy here and our house is a bit chilly so she's hanging out in her cozy hide).
