    Sluggish BP

    So I got Karma out tonight and she seems really sluggish, I don't know why. I know she's not sleepy, during the night she really active for 2 hours(10-11) which is when I usually handle her. But tonight I got her out and she just curled up and did nothing, no exploring, no periscopes no nothing.


    Temps are correct, humidity is good and tomorrow is feeding day. I heard that a sluggish BP won't eat and I really don't want to waste a mouse...

    welcome to BP keeping. sometimes they're ongoing explorers, sometimes they're lazy butts that just wanna be left alone even if you're husbandry is spot on. maybe she's going into shed or maybe she just wants to sleep in tonight and will be active and roaming again tomorrow. even an active BP will sometimes refuse a meal, not just the lazy, sluggish one. they will sometimes drive u nuts no matter what.
    RIP Mamba

    Best bit of advice I've ever heard in this hobby is pretty simple... Sometimes ball pythons do wierd crap.
