Question after tank clean

[neonspeed]

My bp just gave me her first poop and did a complete tank clean, my question is, I know it's normal for them to hide under the substrate but mine has never even tried to go under hers until after the tank clean, is this gonna be a normal thing now or is she just pissed cause she had to spend time in her holding cell for awhile?

Really when you have a poop, you should just spot clean the area. If she's new, she's probably a bit stressed with the change of smells and moving and stuff.

We have had her for a month Saturday so she's adapted already but I did add a new hide in her tank today, maybe that's it. I would have loved to spot clean but she got it all over her new hide some of her fake plants and quite a bit on the substrate so I figured I would give it a complete cleaning. How long do you think she will stay under there? And do you think she will do this regularly now?

She should be fine. If all parameters are good, she's eating regularly this could be just her being a BP. Ball Pythons really just love to burrow if they have the ability to.

Yeah she's come out and I was able to put her second hide back in and she came out to drink and roaming around right now
