Hey! I apologize for making another thread, but I'm a little concerned and don't know if this behavior is normal, or what the change means.

So, my BP hadn't eaten for a month and a half, but she was a docile snake and very laid back. On Sunday she finally took 2 tiny pinkies, and then yesterday (Monday) I bought fuzzies. She immediately took a fuzzy mouse, then crawled back into her hide and poked her head out like she was waiting for more prey. I offered a second fuzzy mouse, and she ate that one as well. I didn't want to overfeed her despite her initial hunger strike, so I didn't offer her another.

But since yesterday afternoon she hasn't moved a bit. She is in her hide box with her head and neck poked out in an 'S' position, once again like she's waiting for more prey to come across her path. Each time I walk by the tank, however, she is very alert to the movement (and she hasn't been like that before). I opened the cage to mist it down, and she looked around with sudden movements and flicked her tongue.

Basically, opening the cage since I fed her, or movement outside the cage, causes her to be very alert and look around with sudden head movements to where the motion comes from. What does it mean? Should I offer more food? Is she still hungry? It also makes me a little timid to hold her tomorrow once the 48 hour post-feeding has passed, because I don't want her to strike me out of hunger or association with the cage opening meaning food. I've never been nervous about handling her until now.
