My two definite male ball pythons, CleoMantra and Nergal, are out of their hides again right now.
Last night they were out even when the lights were on, and today sunlight was streaming through the window and they were out again.
They were out at another point yesterday too.
I've been using a space heater, keeping the room no lower then 80 degrees. They have UTH's plugged into a thermostat or turned on a "low" setting t hat does not exceed 90 degrees.
...They have been eating fine, pooping/peeing fine, etc.
But, why do they keep coming out of their hides that they seemed to love so much before?
Should I add some more cover to their tanks, like some decorative vines or plants? Or is it likely they feel secure if they are sitting on the other side of the tank, but will go into their hide at SOME point?
Cleo will usually come out of his rock and sit on the other side if he has pooped or peed, and he will wait until we clean it up. But I checked, and there is nothing.
Nergal comes out of his hide and goes in the middle of the tank, so he doesn't have an issue.
Am I doing something wrong? :/
Or are my boys just being...silly boys that don't make sense?
Thanks,
Shellie
