New BP home...hate it or love it?
Well, I've just moved my BP from the 10g tank it was on for the first couple of weeks since I got him to the 20g tank I now own. I used the same bedding, same hide box, same water bowl, same everything, except the size of the tank. I put it all in this morning, and the BP hasn't gone into his hide once (that I can tell). It's been moving up and down, planning his next escape...is this normal?
thanks.

It sounds like he's a bit stressed. I'd offer two small hides. The logs aren't the best, because they are open on both sides. You may even want to toss in some loosely crumpled up newspaper. Give him a bit of time to settle in.

Yeah, basically his world was turned upside down. When you switch things up, you treat it like he was a new arrival. Give him some time to adjust and he should be fine. How old is the BP? If he's still small, you may need a few more hides for him to feel safe. They prefer small spaces.

They usually roam a little bit when they move into a new enclosure. No big deal...
